I wonder if this is Thelymitra brevifolia. The post-anther lobe is quite deeply slit. Do you have any photos of the leaf?

Agree, it could be. Leaves were curled in close to the stem, no better pics unfortunately due to battles with the wind :(

Agree with T.brevifolia, the column arms extend to far out to be T.arenaria which is quite compact
