Couldn't find a link to an image. There is a good photo in Tim Low's book "Wild Food Plants of Australia".
Here is a link to an interesting webpage for Bush cucumber (aka Ulcardo Melon).

Where would one get hold of seeds for this melon?

Good question! I did a Google search for 'bushtucker seed suppliers' and found this site amongst others.

Yes Rose-Marie, it is. I contacted them and they did have seed but had just sown all they had left to produce more seed! What timing eh?

Staggering into the conversation late ... the Exotic Plants link above appears to have changed in the last few days and is now http://www.guruna.com/seeds/bushtucker_full.htm for the full bushtucker listing. The back of the book "Grow your own bushfoods" by Keith and Irene Smith has an extensive range of suppliers listed in the back - contact me offlist and I'll try to transcribe some if you like :)

Am in the process of attempting to accumulate resources for growing & eating bushfoods ...
