Austroargiolestes icteromelas
This little damselfly really wanted it's pic taken. About 45mm long. Mostly dark bronze but with cream coloured markings.
In a local nature reserve.
I think this is ' Australian Common Flatwing - Austroargiolestes icteromelas ' but must eat dinner now so I will check later.... yum... yep I was right.

Thanks Neil. I tried to get a couple of these earlier and they wouldn't let get within several metres. This one just sat there.
Great spotting, Mark. That eye is amazing.
Ah thanks James. Did you read my notes? (lol)

For real on the camera? That is amazing, you have a great eye!
Thanks James but what's a lens? We and I use el-cheapo, point-and-shoot pocket cams. Can't afford that fancy stuff. If a little critter lets me poke the cam right into it's face it's a lucky day. :-)
I love these. Image #1 is incredible, what lens did you use?
