Found it in my garage on the refrigerator. We were down the coast last week for a night, it is possible it may have hitched a ride back.

Ahah ,thats more like it, these Austroslamona are largely coastal. Although I do have one(sp. 9) recorded in Gymea lily in ANBG, another possible ride hitcher. So I don't need confirmation.
The Google map had the GPS in the middle of a roundabout. This may need a correction.
I will need to check with Michael how we deal with ride hitchers from the coast
