Not sure which named Fraus (genus) species would best fit.
Perhaps Fraus marginospina although that species seems to be a dry country species (eg. SA, western Victoria)
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/522870-Fraus-marginispina
F. orientalis (Eastern Fraus) has a more eastern range better suiting where this record was made.
https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/1072359-Fraus-orientalis
There is brown stripiing which would correspond roughly to F. orientalis.

About three years ago several people were poisoned by eating spinach contaminated with datura (common thornapple). The weed is commonly brought to Canberra by contaminated landscaping soil. I don't know if there are any biosecurity rules to stop this. I have seen it growing alongside vegetables so it would be possible for it to end up in a salad. Symptoms of poisoning include: thirst, dilated pupils, high temperatures, weak or rapid pulse, incoherence or hallucinations, vomiting, breathing problems, convulsions. Wash your hands if you are pulling it out.
Datura sp.
