From the long clubs in the second and fourth photos I would say C. reflexa.

thanks. I keep having to remind myself that the differences can be very small!

These are not easy and the difference is small. Mine is just an educated guess but I hope I am correct.

I put it on the Australian Native Orchid site on Facebook and Lachlan Copeland identified as C reflexa.
I then looked closely at the photos and can see the thickening near the ends of the clubs.
Off back to the site on Wednesday morning to show to a friend.
One of 20 orchid species I have found out there - must be more!
