Phlebopus doesn't stain blue. This appears to be one of many previously undescribed species of native bolete.

For the Suillus suggestion to be a likely possibility there would probably need to be a Pinus tree nearby, I can't see any evidence of pine needles in the images. Suillus has a high host fidelity to trees in the Pinaceae none of these hosts are native to Australia. Suillus has also been reported from Quercus but there are no signs of oak leaves in the image. I can't make out the species of the trees in the maps image, though that might just be my eyes as computer screens have become hard to read.
