It might be Datura ferox, which has been recorded twice at Isaacs Ridge.

Sorry Betty, this was a double-up of the sighting (a problem with using more than one camera). It is definitely D. stramonium and I will transfer the picture to http://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3375188 which is currently shown as a nearby sighting..
