Looks to me like a species of Epicoma, possibly  E. contristis  family Notodontidae.  An underside shot of the moth would help to sort it out between a couple of very similar species.  Foodplants various - Eucalyptus, Casuarina and Leptospermum

This is the day moth I was trying to identify the other day. I found one dead outside our place and it fell apart as I was trying to photograph it. But you can see the black hind wings and yellow tuft on the end of the abdomen.
