This is one of the Australian sawflies (Hymenoptera:Symphyta). I would guess that this is in the family Pergidae. check out these sites http://www.whatsthatbug.com/category/wasps-and-hornets/horntails-wood-wasps-and-sawflies/page/7/ http://australianmuseum.net.au/Sawflies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawfly
