Grateful to Rose Wisemantle for identifying this butterfly for me as it isn’t shown in my Australian Fiekd Guide. Having now googled the species I fully agree this is a Tawny Coster. I failed to get a photo of it perched but took several of it in flight, one heavily cropped zoomed in image attached here. It was patrolling an area of open coastal heathland behind the beach, chasing off Glasswing and Blue Triangle butterflies. Spent a lot of time gliding interspersed with rapid, shallow wing beats always close to the ground vegetation.
