Rhaphidophoridae
About 35mm long body; antennae were double that although one was broken; plenty of uncomfortable looking spiky gadgets at the mating end.
On a sheltered wall in a local nature reserve.
Yet to search for exact species... looks like they are not a big group in Australia. Related to the cave wetas. http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:b... https://sites.google.com/site/insectsoft...
