Thanks for your comments Mayra, Ashish and Atul. There is usually a few of these to be found on Acacia each summer.
Atul

Ashish
Simply fantastic one...

I'm a bit lost with your ID request. My go to site is usually http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_planthoppers/index.html but I don't think your spotting occurs in Asian region.
