It's quite common in the parks and gardens in the South of France, where it's nicknamed "rince-bouteille" (bottle rincer). I didn't know it came from Australia.
The climate there would be good growing conditions. I hope it doesn’t cause issues though. Introduced species can sometimes be problematic.
I just checked: there's absolutely no problem with this one. And even better: it produces a lot of nectar for the European bees.
