Private property. No public access without permission. Really tiny moth similar to https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3877742, so again difficult to photograph. It flew off before I could get better photos. Curly edge to wings.

Yes several of the Glyphipterix have a black and white pattern near the margin but differ in the stripes on the main part of the forewing, so I think this one is too hard to pick.
