Sorry - could not get more photos before it flew off. A small moth.

Seems to be quite similar to Chrysolarentia imperviata (Elusive Carpet) which is certainly known from coastal southern Australia. Lack of detail at the outer forewing margins suggests its an old and worn specimen. C. imperviata is also a variable specides making it difficult to identify. Is the fourth photo the same moth or its underside?

I think it's the same moth - the only other moth it could be would the moth in sighting #4515851? I was in a hurry, but have learned to take photos while they are contained, as I'm losing too much information when they fly off. I took this photo in a set of photos of this particular moth, so am pretty much 100% sure it's the same moth.
