Thanks! Yes, I looked a bit at the Genduara moths on the butterflyhouse website. Nearest wing pattern wise is G. dianipha, but it's otherwise not the same moth. Thanks for trying anyways. I understand insects out there may not be well studied. I was actually surprised to find a moth in that environment!

Genduara (genus) Lasiocampidae family is likely (iNaturalist;s AI suggest so), but I have not found a match in Genduara (genus) or Porela (genus). The remote location (NT) suggest it may not be a well-known or named species. Nice shaep photos from several angles.

The coordinates for sighting 4718870 show up as -18.370413, 133.836339 when I view them. I don't know why you can't see them, ibaird?
It's the same location as the moth, but may be slightly different as I chose the coordinates manually.

Looks a bit like larva of this group illustrated in "Caterpillars, Moths & their Plants of southeastern Australia" McQuillan, P. et al Also native flowers are listed as larval food
