I think the first image shows antennae colour and shape consistent with O. antipoda.

Oxycanus antipoda

Ian, I think you may be correct. I have sent request to Ethan Beaver who may be able to confirm.

There are two records of Oxyxanus aedisima inland from Mackay on the ALA, which looks similar to this moth.
Also one record of a plain brown E. australasiae only from near Mackay too at Eungella NP.
