Insect was flying around and only paused on the plant briefly. Only one photo sorry.

Ryl - this is a ringtail (genus Austrolestes), but there is insufficient detail to be definitive about which species. It could well be a Slender Ringtail, but I'd need to be able to see the end of the thoracic humeral stripe, and/or the terminal abdominal segments, to be sure.
