Tentatively Chrysolarentia (genus) but I have not been able to find a match.

The lines match C. rhynchota quite well, but it is browner than the specimens that I have seen.

Yes. However, there are some brownish moths on the ALA (not good photos) which have been identified as C. rhynchota eg. see https://biocache.ala.org.au/occurrences/0480b628-f07d-4caf-afba-783a85544a68
The set specimen of C, rhynchota photographed on Lepidoptera Butterfly House looks brownish, not grey.
