My final submission as I've been judged to be breaking the rules.
Proof that poms take a bath once a year, LT was complaining about smelly poms again.
First up ... great photo.
But the horticulturist in me can't align the photo as being a Bunya Pine sapling.
Below is an image of one ...
The leaves on your image are more akin to a succulent.
However, if I have mucked up and you are the proud owner of a Bunya Pine, I hope you have a huge garden and have planted it a loooooooooong way from your house.
They grow up 45 metres.
Carry on.

Bit of a story behind this little tree. I was clearing some saplings in the garden and noticed one of them had strange leaves growing out of the trunk after it was already cut. I harvested as many cuttings as I could and potted them. The cuttings slowly succumbed over the course of the next 12 months but one of them survived and that is the one in the picture. I still had no idea what it was and gave it to the GF for her garden. She was driving around one day and spotted one similar in somebody's garden and they said it was a Bunya Pine. I googled it and it looks right.
It does not look like a pine. the leaves are thick like a succulent but the leaves also grow out of the trunk like needles on a pine so I guess it is a kind of pine.
Looks quite different to the pic you posted.
