Thanks to everyone who responded, in particular to the CSIRO entos from the Australian National Insect Collection. The consensus is that the insect is a type of March fly Scaptia auriflua

I must admit that this is the first time in my life that I have felt even a very tiny bit favourably disposed towards a march fly.
