I have never seen Dissomorphia australiaria sit with its wings held like this. I think I can make out the noctuid shaping of the thorax. The collar etc

While the prominent orange and black hindwings are not visible, otherwise this species seems to fit.
A new species for NatureMapr's Canberra and Southern Tablelands region if approved.

Well found Ian. I was rather bothered by the dark line near the wing apex.
