Am not an expert but have J Huisman's book so was calling it Dictyota sp. Great photo .

Thanks very much for your comment Liz. John H. did not say at the time why he wasn't comfortable with calling this Dictyota dichotoma, so I've just emailed him. It's possibly due to discussion like this in algaebase.org:

Acacia curranii

Thanks again
