User's notes
Not sure of the identification. There were two distinct patches on a eucalyptus leaf at ANBG as seen in the first three images, each 10mm across the longest width. The final image shows the underside of the leaf beneath one of the patches. Following sighting 4717483 provides additional information at up to 5X to help with identification. Thanks to @HelenCross for the suggested identification.
