Possibly Bunochilus longifolius or Pterostylis longifolia ?

I think this looks more like a Diuris with those long dangling sepals and the basal leaves. Bunochilus leaves are scattered up the stem. Nice to see some of the flowers were pollinated anyway.

Yeah got to be Diuris. I guess given height and flowering time it would be a toss up between D sulphurea and D dendrobioides, presumably likely D sulphurea?

I have found D. sulphurea in nearby hills before, so that is a likely choice.

Alright, I'll confirm as Diuris sp. to be safe.
