This is a beautiful spotting of a (Family Lophopidae) planthopper. It is a hemipteran bug and a small cousin of the cicada. These groups get very complex. My closest link is this old faithful site. The Australian match is Magia subocellata but yours is unlikely to even be the same genus. http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_...
