Three different individuals?
Do you have a description of the vegetation.
There is a population at Souths TSR (Bungonia Rd) in Themeda secondary temperate grassland and a small one at the Pomaderris reserve (no Themeda).
Quite a lot of properties in that area seem to have suitable habitat for Ks.

@RogerF - Hi Roger, we recorded 7 individuals along the survey transect (approx. 800m transect). I'm prepping detailed vegetation notes, as there was a variety of microhabitats in which Keyacris were found. Feel free to send an email to maxdebeer@lodgeenviro.com.au and I will forward the vegetation notes to you, when they are prepared (also in prep for DPE).
Cheers,
Max
