If you like the above ID of the Liana then here is how I came upon it with the help of Jonna's link. The stems are not green and juicy like Phil's but springy and grey like Ficus. That brought me to the name of Schefflera which belongs to the family of Araliaceae. Sure enough there is a Araliaceae on the list.

Dendropanax caucanus. While Phil's are in the family of ARACEAE . Close but still not the same.
Noel, this Dendropanax will become a terrorist if you plant it in your garden. I think this is the most rowdy member of the family Araliaceae. Ours are decent in comparison but no less then the Lianas of Vietnam(far East)
. You might require a machete to get out in the morning.
Now, as I am quite fascinated with your venture I will save Jonna's link and the following link as I have a feeling we may require it again. Now get good photographs of the light green prominent veined plant I pointed out. That gave a look of family Araceae.

Now Jonna, when are you going to open an Old Joints Club in your balmy weather in winters
It might be a roaring success
