Private property. No public access without permission. Again these are older photos. This orchid also comes up every year (as do a few similar ones in the same area). It only flowers if the conditions are correct (moist and hot) and for a very brief period. Located in a more open, rocky area on the bare patches in between the wallaby grass tussocks.

I'm suggesting T.nuda; the leaf is relatively short but appears smooth. The other option is T. megcalyptra.

I'd be on board with nuda also, Tony, with the caveat that Thelymitra are bloody hard at the best of times.
