Thanks Matt. Apols for the belated reply. Given that all other (at least 4) previous Thelymitra sightings in this part of the site have been IDed as T. alpina I'm wondering what other species of Thelymitra it could be?

That's a good point Andy. It's most likely T. alpina so I will confirm it as such.
