iNaturalist's AI suggested Microclona limodes (A NZ species), but I note M. characta apparently occurs in Australia and NZ.
BOLD4 shows several Microcolona (genus) species as occurring in Australia. all not named to species level:-

I have found no other photos from life online to compare this sighting with.
