Aaron, I think these almost certainly are Thelymitra leaves, although not always easy to separate from Calochilus at this stage. The narrow deeply channelled laeves suuggest T. pauciflora.

Whoops I was logged in as the Test Account.. Thanks Tony, good to get your thoughts on these. It's a good little hot spot in this area where I know of several species all popping up in the general area at different times of year... I want to explore Goorooyarroo some more this coming season, it's a great nature park and really huge...
