Default mystery house plant

Do not over-water. This is Hoya carnosa from Queensland -- [Wax plant]

Better replaced.

Hi -

I've put a picture of a mystery house plant at:

and am hoping someone can tell me what it is.

Opposite leaved vine with thick coriaceous leaves. Flowers - 5
parted pink and red in umbels.

Thanks.
