User's notes

I don't know what this is, I've seen a few different names, but I think it's a longhorn beetle, can you please confirm? Your website says they are common in NSW, but as I'm in Ballarat Victoria, I thought I'd report it. I've lived here for 7 years and this is the first time I've seen these.
