Could be a viburnum species - worthy of collection and taking to CSIRO herbarium as it is not one I have seen naturalised before

The leaves look similar to those of Dogwood (Cornis florida) which we used to have in our garden.

I tend to agree with natureguy. Dogwoods are cultivated in Watson and Hackett gardens. I always wondered whether the fruits are dispersed by birds since dw's are an important food source for birds in the countries of origin US and Mexico.

coordinates seem to be not correct; it should be inside JRHP close to fence.
