Destolmia lineata
About 28mm long. Shape and posture is like a Cossidae but this one is very fluffy and the patterns are very different .
Attracted to strong lights at the local school which is surrounded by dry eucalyptus forest.
This species feeds on Silver Princess (Eucalyptus caesia) which is planted extensively across the front of the school and within a metre of this specimen.

Thanks Stephen. I might leave out the nondescript bit in my notes if that's ok :-)
Just some nondescript notodontid, I think
