This is E. heatwolei. A good record as it is a surprisingly high elevation for this species. My own observations show that they occur along the Brindabella Range up to about 1,200m. At these high elevation sites (e.g. around Bull Head) E. heatwolei in the more open forest and on sunny aspects, whereas E. tympanum occurs in the colder open flats wet heaths and bogs. Above about 1400 m you only get E. tympanum.
