These look like Eurybrachidae (planthopper) egg sacs; not 'Lachnodius'.

Thanks for your educated opinion Penelope. Hi Sandra, see:

Best way to confirm would be to gently lift one of the covers up to see what is underneath. The Eurybrachidae egg sac I found in Brisbane had small, oval-shaped, pale green-coloured eggs underneath the cover.
