OK, I think your moth looks very like this one, but I don't find the single Holbern B. phoenochyta photo to be a convincing match to either, but I could be wrong. It will be interesting to see what the experts on iNaturalists say to your suggested ID,

Quite worn, but I think the darks head fitd the species.

Certainly I agree it's likely to Xylorycta (genus), but given there are several very similar looking species in this genus, I'm personally unable to be sure it's this suggested species. I note there are only a few records of this species from life online mainly from southern Victoria, so it would appear this record would extend the recorded distribution significantly.

@Miranda Thanks Miranda. This can happen. I think it is when you click Report sighting before the photos have fully uploaded even though the location seems to have been found.
