They occur along the east coast of Australia from Victoria to southern Queensland according to 'Moths of Australia' - IFB Common. Here is one with more black wings but same species in Brisbane.

yours and mine look the same.
don't know if they will appear in any other place then VIC??
I have spotted one of these before; http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/895...
They seem to have two pars of antennae but one of them are labial palps, part of their feeding organs. Many smaller moths have elogated palps

These pictures are amazing! Anyone have any idea what sort of moth this is? Something weird is going on with its head; it seems to have two pairs of antennae! I suspect it might be a new moth, and its proboscis hasn't closed together yet? And that is what smaller curled pair of protuberances from its head are?
