The Huckitta pallasite meteorites were from a stony iron meteorite fall in the Northern Territory and named for Huckitta Station where most were found:

While colourful and interesting, your rock doesn't really look much like the Huckitta pallasites, nor does it show any obvious characteristics of a meteorite. Is a magnet strongly attracted to the rust-coloured areas?

I suggest you contact a museum or your nearest gem/lapidary club for an expert examination/opinion. There's a list of Queensland clubs here:
