I wouldn't sweat it.. wait till you have some nanners and post a pic. You probably have some professional banana taster's locally... for a very descriptive review..

Aside from any that may be native there, Australia only allows a handful of approved cultivars to be grown so a little reasearch might help you narrow it down some. In addition, those reddish petioles ought to aid in identifying as well.

Looks like some kind of Musa 'Cavendish' type. Can't say which one for sure without fruit and flower pics though.
