I too enjoyed a similar experience in the Hunter. In my suburban block I find that exclusion bags are best to block both fruit fly and some birds. Recently some birds tore into the bags to get the fruit. I do find that the bags seem to delay ripening.

I also make sure that any susceptible fruits and vegetables [including such as "seeds" on clivia] are either bagged or removed.

Of course this remedy may not be suitable depending on time and fruit numbers. See the other entries on fruit fly for options other people have selected
