I haven't a clue what this is, but I don't think it's a scale insect.

Could be a felted scale Lachnodius sp. see page 122 my book.

Hi Roger, I have a copy of your book after your recommended in a comment on my last sighting. Unlike in your book and my previous sighting further up Red Hill, this one was by itself. Sorry, my only other photo was very blurry. Thanks for the comments from you and Kim. Cheers

Found something similar on a planted eucalypt in my neighbourhood in Brisbane. Ended up being a Eurybrachidae (planthopper) egg sac.

Thanks Penelope

They do look very similar except that Lacnodius is generally in colonies. There are other pictures of Eurybrachid egg sacs on the internet and of the laying process. So I confirm ther latest ID.
