Hi Kerrie and Nina,
Coincidentally, you practically identified your insect yourself. Often common names refer to the host plant. This is a Gum Tree Bug or Eucalyptus Tip Bug, Amorbus obscuricornis and we located it on the Geocities Website. Your insect is a wingless nymph that will become a winged adult. Nymphs are much more colorful than adults.
