thanks!

I'm not saying you won't find assistance here, but this /is/ a UK-oriented
group and many will not be familiar with antipodean botany. Having said
that, it looks very similar to the Sweetgum (/Liquidamber sytraciflua/)
which is puzzling because, according to my research, it is a native of the
eastern and southern States, not Australia at all, but the leaf is very
similar, so it could be a related species.

But the liquidamber is a relatively commonly planted in gardens here.
Don't know it well enough to confirm the identification, though.
