I find the scent of jasmine a bit strong, a suitable native to consider
is the Wonga vine (Pandorea pandorana)

thanks greenie. i very much doubt the second would go here (climate) but
i'll follow up on the wonga vine & see if it's available locally, etc.

Well blow me down!

It just so happens that I am currently reading one of Susan Irvine's rose
books, specifically "Rose Gardens of Australia" and I had just decided last
night that I must find a place for a Wonga wonga vine after seeing a pic in
her book (p 45 or thereabouts). I come in here this morning and here is the
very plant getting a mention!!!!! The pic in the book seems to feature a
vine growing in a garden along the Murray and if it can be that floriferous
in a dry climate, I would like to give it a go here.
