@Lkaila could it be Labdia argophracta ? I think I have also recorded it in central Victoria

I am not an expert. My look into this made me think that Archimantis sp. (genus) has short wings while Tenodera australasiae
has long wings. Your specimen and the one you refer to are much more colourful specimens (brown hues) than I am used to for Tenodera australasiae. Looking again the wing length may be a gender thing in Archimantis sp. (genus) (males long wings), like I said, I am no expert. However, the bight green eyes and green stripe along the wings indicates Tenodera australasiae. I have scanned through the 'Research Grade' images for the 8 Archimantis sp. on iNat and could only find green stripes on wings (adults) in 2 shots. They seem to have brown eyes.
