You're in Sydney so most likely Port Jackson fig - Ficus rubiginosa which is one of the best bonsai species in the world.
Transplant very easy. Cuttings root very easy. Shoots on old wood very easy so you can chop trunks right back. Goes without water for longer than many other bonsai species. Leaf size reduces easily. Very fast growing. What's not to like :D
Just a bit frost tender for those of us in cooler climates :tounge:
