User's notes
There are some 90+ species listed on the Atlas of Living Australia within the Glyphipterix genus, of which only about five species have had names images to species level posted for them. This specimen does not seem to match either G. chrysoplanetis or G. meteora which are two of the more commonly posted species which apparently have southern Australian distributions

The photo doesn't show enough to be certain, but the visible fw pattern is consistent with chrysoplanetis

Thanks Glenn. I had forgotten it was one of my own sightings you were checking out! Not a very good photo I'm afraid,
