Yes, a ladybird indeed. This species is more common further north. Here's some interesting information from a naturalist's website in Brisbane. It includes photos of the larva and various other notes:

Keep up the insect spotting! Every day now there are new insects appearing so it's a good time to keep a camera handy. Cheers!
