This is such a beautiful grasshopper, thanks for sharing it. I'm only a grasshopper amateur but I have been searching through all the sightings and field guide but cant figure this one out. I have "A Field Guide to Grasshoppers of Australia" arriving in the next few days, maybe that will help, otherwise I hope someone can identify it.
