Thank you SukanyaDatta for the identification! After some searching I found this site: http://www.lepbarcoding.org/australia/sp... which (thus far) is the only one I can find that shows this moth being recorded in Western Australia (Lat: -17.511, Long: 124.253) near to where I spotted this one!!! Further reference: http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au...
It was a pleasure, particularly since its Indian cousin had popped up in my back yard...it has 2 dots too. Maybe you would like to see:

Thank you for identifying my lovely moth Sukanya!!! After much searching there was only one site I could find that recorded this moth near the same place that I found this one. Everything else I read only showed recordings on the east side of Australia...
