Sub alpine. Snow gums and shrub layer (generally daviesia/oxylobium/bossiaea/wooly grevillea in that area but I didn't notice what was immediately around these, and everlastings/podolepis in the more open areas.

good, it is a moth I don't know. There were 2 other sp that look similar. This sp matched best and it is a sub alpine/alpine species
