Most likely a short-beaked echidna and given where you're located, at a guess it would have to be of the sub-species Tachyglossus aculeatus acanthion.

(Did a school project on echidnas once.)

This post is awesome. My first guess was a sea anemone, but since it looks dry and not wet, I'm going to guess an echidna?

I was waiting for someone to say Sea anemone!

(yes, it's an echidna).

if you dropped it in a bucket first would it have looked more like an echidna? (Echidna was the first scientific name they gave these guys - then they discovered that somebody had called a fish echidna first, so they had to change it. Platypus, similarly, was preempted by a genus of beetles)

I would hazard a guess at....sea urchin?
