I heard the possum leaving the roof tonight and went out to get a shot but he was too quick but I saw this little bug on the leaf of the Camellia Bush. This bug is about 3-4mm.

Agree it's a bark louse (Psocid)- normally about 3mm body length

Thanks Brian and Gordon
It looks like Lachesilla quercus or Lachesilla pedicularia. I am waiting for a confirmation from the CSIRO entomology department.
