Also around at the moment in my garden are these little sods: http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_ladybirds/28-spotted.html.
The larvae are pretty freaky, but the damage to my cucumbers is just plain annoying.
Thanks to the OP for asking. We found one of these on the basil over the weekend.
I have one of them in my fly fishing tackle box. Yours seems better made though.
Apparently it’s a type of Tussock Moth caterpillar due to the four tufts of hair on its back which, as mentioned could have stinging cells.

IIRC it causes a moderate rash by the poison from it’s fine hair…
So don’t let the kinds touch it.
That’s a Robert Menzies Eyebrow caterpillar. Or possibly a Pixie Merkin caterpillar.
