Thank you Ruth.
I found it in a friends garden , that is why you can the picket fence in the eyes reflection.

Yes ‚ we also looked forward to a nice spring but it just didn’t work out for us.

The drought started about two years ago.

That is the Goodfelloes tree- kangaroo Dendrolagus goodfellowi

Thank you Ferdy.
It is fairly easy ones you know.

Location fixed. About 4 weeks ago I uploaded a image of a rather flat and spiny caterpillar and kept it as it was close to pupating. After 15 days the moth emerged. I tried to add a small image of that caterpillar but nothing worked . I see you do it frequently and maybe I can ask you how to do it. I am using a iPad not a computer.
Your suggestion of genus Lymantra seems to be close but I could not find a image of the caterpillar but one caterpillar image of a moth in the same genus looked very similar . It could be a species which feeds on lichen .Lymantria antenata looks close to me .

Now, that is a beauty.

Christine , i have looked at many images and i still don’t know. I will upload a photo of the underside it might help you to work it out .Please
The pattern on the underside is different in both D.cymatodes and D. selenophora

That is an amazing image. Must have been exiting to find that one.

Thank you Christine you are very good and very observant. I think we might leave it at genus level
Porrostoma. I am not sure how to delete the name in the species section .
