Not sure from the photo whether it has one or two flowers per node, which is a key destinguishing feature

I went back to check: very occasionally there were two flowers per node, but mostly just one.

Thanks Silke fimbriatum generally has 2-6 flowers per node so I think it is strictum

Isobel tells me that A. strictus occurs further west; also A strictus is not listed in the ACT Census of Vascular plants. I therefore suggest A. fimbriatum.
I found a site with lots of Nodding Chocolate lilies on Mt Majura back in 2005; unfortunately I didn't take gps records and my old Nikon camera is not gps-enabled. From memory it was on the east slope but it is such a long time ago. Anyhow I posted some photographs that I took on Flickr; see

There are also 2 photos of A. minus taken at a different time and place.

Hello Michael and Silke
I'm about to update the flora list of mts majura / ainslie.
I still stumble over A. strictum which is not listed in the ACT Census of Vascular Plants 2017. The Arthropodium species listed in the Census are A. fimbriatum, milleflorum and minus. The Census doesn't list the syn. Dichopogon strictus either. See also my comment from oct 2016 (sorry about with typo in the 2016 comment; it should be A. strictum rather than strictus ...)
