10 - 11 cm in height
Both C. carnea (~13 cm) and C. fuscata (10-11 cm) appear to be in same area with distinct difference in height

I think this is more probably C. carnea, based on the relatively thick stem. It is the dominant Caladenia species in that area, with C. fuscata much less common. I'll wait for Cath to confirm.
