Sorry Lisa - if you can go back and get an image showing the top of the bug it would help with ID. It is not the Pittosporum shield bug which is often associated with Bursaria.

Frustrated sigh . . . sorry Michael, time pressed, quick photo. Inconclusive sighting - maybe next time. I keep learning through this platform. Thanks for letting me know.
