I want a rapidly growing climber to cover a picket fence in Sydney

I'm not worried whether it is native or introduced. What should I
consider?
Jasmine, potato vine, Thunbergia grandiflora are quick, like lots of
sun, get pretty big, which can be a problem if you don't have room for
them (jasmine especially). Hardenbergia, Hibbertia, Pandorea cope better
with some shade and don't get as big. Carolina Jasmine is also faily
contained but a bit slower than the others. The blue potato vine is also
a bit smaller than the white, I'm not sure if it is as quick a grower.
