It's one of the owlflies (subfamily Ascalaphinae) and probably Suhpalacsa subtrahens

Thanks guys. I was having real trouble identifying it. I think I assumed it was some type of dragonfly but looking up your suggestions it is obviously a lacewing. So much to learn.

I expect you noticed that a taxonomist was having fun with owlflies down under, naming the genus as an anagram of ascalaphus

I’m afraid I didn’t! You have sent me down a Greek mythology wormhole - perfect for a wet day at the coast 🙂
