I think the banding on the cilia of my specimen is too bold for Neogalea sunia

Yes we can take your word for it so long as your word is in writing here and you have reasoning as you have just written here (or have noted written evidences here).

So i confirm this identification.

In the future, when you have only a single photograph and have reasons based confidence in the identification, please just make sure you have those reasons for confidence in writing.

What we can't do is take you lack of notes' reasons' words with bare identifications and then speculate to read your mind trying guess whether your identification has:
• your own reasoned confident or
• you have only tentatively identified or
• you have only speculatively guessed an identification (cliche: 'a toss up' identification).

Obviously i write above, in this here sighting's evidence context,
that this single photograph does look like Melia azedarach ,
and in this region and in this Qld location this species does occur,
with only a few other alien introduced from overseas trees' species which look like it, mostly in or near gardens.
(They similar foliage aliens not much sighted in the bush).

I hope my writing here makes sense . Let me know if not in part or whole.

In summary to clarify:

this plant's real word context has much importance for the confirmation of the identification, —systematically—, of course together with this plant's appearance in the photograoh(s) and;

you, the author of this individual sighting, your wholistic thinking context, of the information you have provided, including your sighting description details, your notes;
and as i know a little of your background as context for my receiving your information, from our previous discussions,
hence i know a little of your ways of systematic reasoning identifications.

Melia azedarach
