Pteromalidae
These galls were massive, about 60mm in length! They were on epicormic branching on a nature strip. The council have pruned these branches the next week and I've never seen them again.
Suburban eucalyptus sapling.

This tree has similar gall regrowth the following year and each contains a small grub. Possibly a wasp. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/374...
