Hi Roger. Im on a bit of a cricket bender at the moment, hope you dont mind all the mole cricket suggestions I put out today.
Anyway, this is more of a long shot but wanted to suggest this is Trigonidomorpha sjostedti. (A Guide to Crickets of Australia p316-317). It seems a good match, the book says though that it is almost indistinguishable from Trigonidium vittaticolis. The spur patterns seem a good match, visually anyway, as does the whole cricket. What do you think?
