Thanks bayucca, the other Beetle was larger in size & had different colouring, though the markings were similar

Yep. Those white spots all match up and range is good too.

To me the best match looks like Diphucrania stellata http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:b...

You have another Diphrucania sp. in your stream, as I remember. Please, compare with that one. I am on my iPhone, so no links available...
