It's a banksia which is part of the protea family.

That tree's quite misshapen and leaning badly due to being grown over by
larger trees so we're likely to remove it at some stage. I'm wanting to
plant another in its place because it's nice having bellbirds around.

I've had too much else on to be taking photos lately, but here's a
bellbird who visited our garden this morning.

It was about -4°C this morning.
