I suspect this is a slime mould but would need a much closer view of the structures to hazard a guess as to which one. A useful website on the group is https://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?search=Eumycetozoa&guide=Myxomycetes&flags=HAS:

I'd come to the same conclusion, but hadn't seen that web site - thanks for the url.

Heino Lepp has advise me that it's very likely Leocarpus fragilis (a slime mould) that is fairly common in Canberra, and that it's part way to the mature sporing stage.
