I have no idea what this vine is, it's growing in bushland, just outside our
fence, I'm not sure if it's an introduced weed or a native. The leaves and
flower resemble a passionfruit, except for the hairy flower bud.

It looks like a wild water lemon, Passiflora foetida, which is native to
my neck of the woods (SW US). Crush a leaf and see how it smells.
Pretty picture.

Thank you, a quick check of Google and yes it does seem to be that, which
means I will eradicate it, as it is not a native plant, but and introduced
weed (I'm in Australia) I'll check out the leaves next weekend when I go
back up there, just to make to make sure. Once again...thank you.
