This is the caterpillar form of the moth Calcarifera ordinata, also known as the wattle cup caterpillar.
They're found throughout northern Australia, south to Geraldton, Alice Springs and Brisbane.

The caterpillar has an incredibly painful sting, which is described as "worse than three wasp stings".
