Not expecting to see moths at this time of year, especially out in the open like this one, I almost trod on it. Imitating a dead leaf it was so convinced of it's strategy it refused to flinch when I touched it. About 45mm across.
In an open area of short grasses within a dry eucalyptus woodland. National park.
Very difficult to recognise..... hope I got it right... check BB
Common name might be 'Small Twisted moth'
