Very few native plants are deciduous, Ipsom. There are many exotic plants though to be found around the country which turn, as they do in their native countries, to beautiful browns, oranges and reds as winter approaches.
There is also a plant, the Poinsettia (which I believe comes from Mexico) and which is very common in Australian gardens, that produces tiny yellow flowers in our autumn and the leaves surrounding the flowers turn a very bright red. Fortunately, unlike such things as privet and agapanthus which are dreadful weeds in this country, they cause no harm.
Hang on a bit, I've got a poinsettia in my own garden. It's just starting to turn and flower at the moment . . . I'll go and take an image for you . . .
OK, there's two. It'll be a few weeks before the leaves fully colour.
