INaturalist seemed pretty confident this moth belonged in Genus Oncopera. Found in grasses at our bush block.

Looking at LBH I dot see the fine markings I would expect if this were A. natalis which doesn't have a woolly thorax as is evident here. The wet rainy weather we've been experiencing across the Monaro also supports Onccopera (genus). Worn, but what forewing pattern I see does also support Oncopera (genus). Probably O. brunneata or O. rufobrunneus but I'm not sure.

@ibaird now that I've seen Oncopera at home (this was at my bush block), I think this definitely belongs in that genus.
