rubus probus
This superb fruit has clusters of juicy pink to bright red (rubus) lobes which form the berry, some 1 - 3 cms in diameter.  They grow on a bramble thicket (in Queensland) with regularly spaced barbs on the stems.  Flavour is a superb sharp berry - raspberry - stronger than exotic raspberries

It is good to eat - that is where the word PROBUS comes into the latin name
