Thanks for the suggestion @waltraud! Does look like it... a nymph as there are no wings.

We found several of these Nymph stages on a "needle bush" Hakea sericea. Will go back to see if any Adult stages are around ? Very cryptic camouflage, abdomen resembles a "pine cone" in appearance + very elongate extended "proboscis" (?)
