Stuart, more like a moth rather than a butterfly.

Hi Stuart, Take a look at https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Species/22374 unidentified Geometer moths.

Hi Stuart and Alison, again no idea which moth this is so have made a suggestion to direct the record to the moth experts.

Great photos. The rectangular nature of the head is good, but this specimen does not have the dorsal pair of pale tipped horns shown at http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/chro/falernaria.html Maybe earlier/later instars do not have the horns, but a lot more larvae need rearing and documenting before we can decide this. Suzi/Stuart/Alison : are you rearing it? Otherwise it is just another unidentified caterpillar.
