Assuming this is a Concealer moth, fam. Oecophoridae this image closely matches the wing pattern of Philobota chrysopotama , or P. pactolias (holotype) a digital image of which may be seen on the Atlas of Living Australia at http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:d40f5175-c4f1-4385-b322-1f6e4ec8e754

Some features of this moth and the second specimen under 3384072 best match p. strigatella, and others P. chrysopotama. Both species are present on the southern tablelands. The latter seems the most likely identification (pactolias is a synonym of it).
