User's notes
I am not completely confident in this identification but I think it is a Mimetic Gumleaf Grasshopper. I had put the BBQ away and was putting on the cover when I noticed this little one had decided that the scrunched up cover was a good place to hide. (Sorry, this is from last year, I am catching up with some photos I have.)

Hi Roger, Many thanks. I don't know my instars so that explains why it did not look like a complete fit for the species. Very much appreciated. Cheers
