Thanks Peter Marriott and, Marilyn Hewish for this ID (via Dr Ken Walker) Also called 'Variable Carpet'. Looking at other visual records it's easy to see why we sometimes need the experts help !! http://www.lepbarcoding.org/australia/sp...

Spot on with Larentiinae Tamar. I had to get the really big guns here to get the rest of it though. :)
Yes thanks Tamar. I expect Larentiinae (or Sterhinae) too but haven't had the time to dig in yet. Hope you're travelling well. :)
I think, yes, Geometridae, it reminds me of one of the Carpets. Try Subfamily Larentiinae. I don't think I can do better than that right now.
