Oncopera (genus) I think. Looks like O. intricata, but apparebtly that;s a Tasmanian species.
O. intricoides?
Doesn't seem to have the bold markings of O. alpina.

I routinely suspect that several moth species presumed to have exclusively Tasmanian distributions may also eventually be shown to have mainlaind alpine distribtions as well.
