I set out to report the butterfly in the photo, but did not know the species. When the page loaded up it had no mention of butterflies and looked as if I was reporting the Ammobium. I tried to suggest that it was the butterfly that was intended with species unknown, so now it has been marked as Inconclusive!!

Did you manage to get any other photos of it? What sort of flight did it have?

I didn't manage any other photos as it flew very quickly. I think the flight was fairly normal fluttery flight but in fairly straight lines - only saw it for a few minutes. It possibly looked quite like the unknown butterfly photographed on gravel (at Jedbinbilla I think) - sighting 1974119

Pretty sure it's not an ochre (like the Jedbinbilla butterfly). Looking at what wing pattern and shape can be seen here, it looks a little bit like a Yellow Admiral, but they are not black and white butterflies.
