I believe this is Acyphas sp or one of the similar genus (e.g. Euproctis sp.). Trichiocercus sparshalli, a moth I am VERY familiar with, has a broader stance, shorter, thicker, more densely haired legs, a dense 'mane' extending over its 'shoulders' and smoother more shiny wings. At rest Trichiocercus sparshalli has (in males) long 'hairs' stiching out from the end of the abdomen out past the wings or (in females) the bulbous posterior end of the abdomen, covered in honey coloured hairs can e seen between the wings.

@ibaird @WendyEM I have consulted with David Lane, who notes the following, "it looks like Syntherata escarlata - the locality supports this record as I have specimens from the Eungella region also. The forewing eyespot is not necessarily a diagnostic feature as the size is somewhat variable and similar to S pseudescarlata"
