Are we sure that it's a syrphid and not a calliphorid?  Do you have other angles that show the wing venation?

Looks a lot like Rhinia apicalis. I get here in Townsville. |

Could be, but I thought Rhinia was less hairy than this fly - that's why i suggested Stomorhina . Someone else may be able to give a definitive answer.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll go with stomorhina for now. It seems to be hairy and also has a striped abdomen. |
