I think this is one of the cherry laurels, but will have to do so work to find out which Prunus it is, Prunus laurocerasus, Prunus lusitanica and Prunus serotina have all been commonly planted in Canberra
I have identified this photo as Prunus laurocerasus, on the basis of the clear veins in its paddle-shaped evergreen leaves and that the fruiting stems are shorter than the leaves. However the leaves appear not to come to a sharp point which is typical of Cherry laurel and seem a darker colour than usual. Nevertheless it is the best fit of all the Prunus species commonly planted in the ACT. Thus I am fairly confident of the ID.
Luke, given the location of this plant it may mark an historic homestead, and may have cultural value. Assuming that my ID is correct, and the plant is not of historic value - this species does have a history of being weedy in the blue Mountains and above Melbourne so would be good for it to be cut and dabbed, if you are out that way. The size of the plant suggests that it is a weed rather than an old planting.
i would have expected the leaves to be pointed and the edges finely serrated. There is evidence of that in a leaf at the left of the photo but not the other leaves. There are some Prunus on Isaacs Ridge so I will compare them.
