I'm not sure there will be much luck getting this beyond genus without a better view of the flower

While this definitely a Thelymitra (Sun Orchid) and we can easily eliminate some species, a final decision on actual species can be and is often difficult we need to be able to identify small differences in actual flower parts and the shape and size of the leaf to be sure. If possible several photos of a flower close up from front and side plus the leaf would help to identify what is a beautiful orchid flower find.
