Found this in a nature reserve behind our house in Seacliff (near Adelaide) Australia. Any idea what this is?

Vine Hawkmoth Caterpillar
Dear Stuart,
This is a Vine Hawkmoth Caterpillar, Hippotion celerio. We just posted a green individual this morning. According to Butterfly House: “This Caterpillar occurs world-wide. It can occur in several different colour forms: green, brown, red or dark grey. It usually has an eyespot each side of the first and second abdominal segments, those on the first segment being larger.”
