Default Parse data where break is a first uppercase character in a string?

I am trying to parse text string cells of various lengths and seperated
by spaces. I have thousands of rows of data. I can parse with break
lines at the spaces, however I need to parse where the first whole word
is in uppercase and for that word (in this example CURRAMBINE) to be in
the same column when parsed. Below are two rows of data of differing
lengths as an example:

(Row 1) 2 Paddington Avenue CURRAMBINE WA 6028
(Row 2) Currambine Station Carpark 1 Paddington Avenue CURRAMBINE WA
6028

Ideally I would like the data in columns as follows:

(Row 1 - Column 1) 2 Paddington Avenue (Row 1 - Column 2) CURRAMBINE
WA 6028
(Row 2 - Column 1) Currambine Station Carpark 1 Paddington Avenue (Row
2 - Column 2) CURRAMBINE WA 6028

I hope I have explained this correctly. Any assistance would be
appreciated.
