Looks like Delonix regia, AKA poinciana to me.

Not at all hardy outside of the subtropics. Have heard of some growing and flowering in Sydney and Perth though.

No I definitely call it as a Delonix. Its a biggun and has the shape for it.

Ive seen more of these things than I care to think about...
