Antedorsal spots on terga 3-7 look more like Austroaeschna obscura than Austroaeschna multipunctata to me. @HarveyPerkins

@KorinneM @trevsci - Agree it's not multipunctata, and possibly obscura - but it is a long way south for that species (and a little outside of the IBRA Sydney Basin bioregion).
