Beautiful photos. It looks very similar to the Common Gum Tree Shield Bug but there are some slight differences. The color of the body, legs and antennae as well as the patterning doesn't match the descriptions of the Common one. I haven't been able to find one that matches yours. Maybe someone else will have better luck.
