Entomology help!

This guy was hanging around on our screen all evening, and I'm desperately curious to know what kind of bug he is.  It's about two inches long of body and an additional two inches of wing beyond that; counting the wing length it's the width of my palm.
When it flies, it makes a loud buzzing noise that scares Miriam.  Is it some kind of cicada?

    That is indeed a cicada. Not a sort I have seen here (Sydney)... but it is one.

    Hmmm apologies for that crazy bunch of numbers and letters. I have never used OpenID before...

    My first response was it was a cicada, also.
