Looks very much like pollen disease, nothing much to worry about, but quite contagious.

if you leave them for a few weeks it will soon clear up, you wont seem any yellow lumps but beware it normal re occurs again in spring unllress you treat your bees with petrol

It's normal, and something we probably won't see here in UK until next year.

I see here too yellow clumbs. Some say that they are autumn leaves. I am not sure.

you only need to worry if the yellow lumps change colour in a few weeks

As you are in Australia you will see a lot more of it as it is spring and the start of brood rearing. Welcome to the forum but I think you need to look at the Australian forum
