Ecphantus quadrilobus? https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/fbe40d6d-a104-42cb-9ae4-4e4ff43959e5 Hitched a ride in for the sheepdog trials? Did not jump too far nor try to fly away.

Quite common further west. Like many winged grasshoppers may disperse by night flight.
