User's notes

Only one plant seen in flower, could be many more but too hard to tell amongst the grasses and lomandra type plants

Id bit a guess really based on location as I don't have a reliable way to distinguish this from D. pardina

I'd say this is D. nigromontana. Comparing the features with the Orchids of the ACT book suggests it is what you say it is.
