This is a coreid bug (Hemiptera) also called leaf footed bugs or stink bugs. There are many genera so I cannot ID yours for certain. Here is an excellent link to Australian ones to help you find its category. http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_coreidbugs/index.html Here is a link to a local (for you) PN member who has made a video that will make your soul soar. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7506193
