I suggest it might well be Taxeotis epigaea, an apparently variable species, but see:-

To my eye this moth strongly suggests Androchela newmannaria, however i see no evidence of such a black specimen of this species anywhere online,

Well spotted, WendyEM. Close to D. australiana but the relative plain grey hindwings differ from D. australiana.

Planolocha sp.(1) (MoV. Pt, 7)

To my eye looks a lot like Taxeotis didymosticha. Especially the costal markings and the light coloured head patch.
