(Sorry for the duplicate post, John - I meant to reply to the group.)

The common names for these are "case moths", "bag moths" and/or "bagworms".

Beyond that, I'll defer to an entomologist...

This page has a good selection which may or may not occur locally:

I should know what this is, but I don't.

It's a case that obviously has an insect larva in it, it twitches from time to time. I saw several on the large concrete chimney by the Molonglo today.
