For scale, the leaves are just larger than my hand.
Thanks
Looks like an abutilon. It's a common garden shrub in California,
which has a climate not too different from Australia's. A flower would
cinch it: abutilons are in the family Malvaceae and have
characteristic mallow flowers. There's a nice gallery of abutilons at
http://www.malvaceae.info/Genera/Abutilon/gallery.html
Sometimes called "Chinese bellflower" or "flowering maple" (though
it's nothing to do with true maples).
