Okay, thanks Jackie, I'll get some more useful pics.

Jackie, I went back when it wasn't raining and I could look around and found that this plant is a substantial climber with strong woody stems up to 10 mm thick (see additional photos). It had climbed up into a young angophora and I didn't see that bit as I was pulling fireweed at the time and had my head down!

I wondered about Billardiera. The flowers look right but the leaves don't. It's in a place where I wouldn't have expected to find a planted species, but you never know. If it was planted, it's been there a good while now with no spread that I can see. I'll keep an eye on it, though. Thanks Jackie.

Yes, I'll check the neighbours' garden next time I'm there.

I've been meaning to ask you for field guide recommendations I have one or two south coast plant guides but clearly need more. Can you recommend any?

Thanks. Got some and will try to get the others, though I've been told that the Woods's are now out of print, sadly.

I think this might be Billardiera variifolia, but not too familiar with this one
