If it's Archaeosynthemis orientalis, then a cool sighting!

Thanks for the suggestion Korinne, are there similar spp.?

Eusynthemis and Synthemis seemed to be the most likely otherwise. @DPRees125 you've seen some 'younger' ones of Archaeosynthemis orientalis recently. Does this match?

Nice, I'd say it does look like a young A. orientalis. what was the habitat and what was its habitat. these things are quite lazy from experience and fly about slowly in and around vegetation and rest often

Yes - a young male Eastern Brown Tigertail. Check out those anal appendages in the third image.

Thanks for all your input. Habitat was moist drainage line close to Shoalhaven river with low, riverine vegetation...
