They are so ubiquitous here I've had conversations with multiple people who think they are native. Apparently, seedlings were given to new parents from a maternity hospital in southern Sydney back in the day which helped their spread.
Sadly, their reputation seems to overshadow the native Illawarra Flame Tree (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachychiton_acerifolius) which itself is showing off vibrantly right now. I'm lucky enough to have a few in my street.
