@Tapirlord I think this one might be Diuris area as first suggested. At the very least the colouring is very pale for D. sulphurea and this plant lacks the prominent spots of D. sulphurea. D. aurea has been recorded out in the region.

Oh, ok. I had thought there was only one callus ridge, D.aurea has two. But i could be convinced otherwise.

That’s true. I must admit I am struggling to see the callus ridges in these images. I am not 100% on my ID, but I am tending towards D. aurea or some sort of hybrid with D. sulphurea or D. aurea as a parent.

Now that I am having a better look at this on a larger screen I am much happier with it being Diuris sulphurea. Sorry for being so difficult.
