You have leaf miners , dose of Eco oil will help.
Pick of affected leaves and solarise before disposal ( not into your compost ) .

Hi Waggy, it looks like its a leaf miner issue. Purchase some pest oil from bunnings and spray the whole tree, cut of any growth with those affected leaves.

I have also found Neem oil to be very effective but it is expensive.

The least expensive is using your fingers with the help of spray tap water to remove the leaf miners. You need to repeat 2-3 times a few weeks and problem solved. Cheers
