This is a really common moth - perhaps you don't need to post everyone of this or other common moths like Culladia cuneiferellus and Faveria tritalis and concentrate on the more uncommon ones.

This looks very much like Scaptodrosophila hibisci, which has a natural distribution close to the coastline and north of Sydney- so perhaps another inveterbrate species translocated to the Botanic Gardens
