I stand to be corrected, but I think its more likely to be P. edwardsii. P. dirigens certainly looks similar, but Bold Systems 4 confirms that species' distribution is WA and Qld, not SE Australia apparently. I think there is a close match in forewing markings with specimens called P. edwardsii on the ALA.
