A solution has been found

[Ia...@jcis.net.au]

Apparently, there is a plugin called Processing tools or Processing which QuickOSM needs.

 

I was advised to make sure the Processing plugin is activated (checked) which I did and the QuickOSM tool ran successfully.

 

All this seems to be largely undocumented except for this discussion at https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/470909/error-in-quickosm-panel-im-unable-to-access-osm-data

 

Anyway, I have got it to work which is good.

 

Cheers
