I suggest you check in any of the field guides.
Most likely it was a Pacific Baza. The Qld museum have a brochure about them as
they get many enquiries.

Mid-afternoon on a locally cool, overcast 30
June, driving 110k/h
inbound on the Gateway, approaching the
Bicentennial exit (a k or two
to go, & heavy traffic both sides), I
saw, perched 30-or-so feet
above on a lamppost, the following bird:
-
raptor
- front view from below, brief and rapidly magnifying
- medium
to large
- classic 'guide book' posture/position
- largely
slate-grey
- long tail, ventrally barred
- chestnut breast/belly
-
belly barred--
And then it was gone!
WHAT could have sat just
so in this
place?
