Could be a Diuris, given the late flowering, robust appearance,green colouration and stem bracts, possibly D. sulphurea.

In image 2 you can just see a rosette of leaves at the base of the stem, so I don't think this is a Diuris. I think it's more likely to be one of the greenhoods - either a Hymenochilus or an Oligochaetochilus.

Thanks. Agree with Cath about the leaves. Hopefully I will be able to time a visit when it is in flower and relocate it this season.

Well spotted Cath, and the rosette is showing signs of withering. There's nothing to give much of a scale, so I was way off.
