I think this is Calochilus paludosus by the look of the beard and the long, hairless strap at the end of the labellum. @Span102 did you get any pictures of the column under the dorsal sepal?

Hi @RobG1 going back and looking at my images I didn't get any under the dorsal sepal - I will have to wait until December and hope it appears again and make sure i get that image!
