Yeah not too familiar with the area but I think it does look better for scandens.

Please refer to the species flowers' diagnostic pedicels' maximum length,
as the two most clearly shown long pedicels in the left–top of the second photograph .
Quotations from the Flora of Vic. botanical key to Vic. spp. :
"pedicels slender, pendulous or curving, 12–45 mm long in flower, often extending in fruit; "
vs. "pedicels stout, erect or sometimes pendulous, up to 12 mm long in fruit [in flower the same length or less long (implied) ]. "
.
Even easier to confirm identification by fruits.
Any fruits photographs please? (for additional confirmation (or refutation) ) .
