We returned it the area of bush where we found it and so no longer have it.

The larvae of many Cossidae species may look like that. You need to rear larvae to the adult moth to ID them.

Thanks. Apols for the delay in getting back. Good to know for next time if there is one.

I think we should assume this is the common E. encalypti that bores in many Canberra wattles
