GPSed. Tossing up between this and Pseudemoia species. Found it under a decaying fence post along with a group of spotted grass frogs. It didn't stay still long enough for me to get more pics. Guessing it's a female because it doesn't look like the front and rear limbs will meet when adpressed.

Sorry Andy - we seem to have missed this one when you submitted it back in November last year. Not sure how that happened. The photo is good and clear and the undivided fronto-parietals scale (just can be seen) which, when added to the colour pattern, provides enough to id correctly.
