Ellipsidion bicolor
My favourite cockroach. Golden brown with some darker grey-black parts on wing cases, a simple white band at the back of the head within a very clear, glass-like, shell extending beyond head.
Exploring the crevices of the bark on Red Ironbark (Eucalyptus tricarpa)
The colours of this go well with the E.tricarpa. Possible membership in Muellerian mimicry complexes.

Nice find Argy.
Love the venation on the wings!
It's good to leave the fungi alone for a while too. :)
Thank you Harsha. Blattids have an unfairly poor reputation with many people.
That is a nice cockroach.
