Pittosporum revolutum. Leaves are somewhat hairy compared to P. undulatum.
The opening ripe fruit are spectacular.

This particular plant is great fruit for the Brown Thornbill and a few others, they do not go near it until the berry pods are exposed and start to dry out a little

That's good to know as it was always thought that the sticky seed attaches to animals and carries. Perhaps both.

Yes they could easily be transported around. The Mistletoe is a specific plant that relies on the birds etc to propagate onto other trees
