Larva was found on a stringybark Eucalypt. Though it seems to have an attraction to Acacia mearnsii.

On Brusaria spinosa from memory.

Nemophora sparsella

on Jacksonia spinosa

Is it some kind of puss moth caterpillar or flannel moth? I am really interested to hear any suggestions. I can't seem to find any other Australian sightings. Thanks

See third photo as it curled its end over in a 'threat' display where it extruded little red tubes not normally visible.
