Australia Hawk Moth is perhaps the best common name. Last month Paul and I raised a closely related species through from a caterpillar we found. Here's a link to the story:

You'll see that your species (C. australasiae) featured in the same 1805 paper which described our species (C. triangularis). These historic papers are important scientifically, and they also make fascinating reading
