User's notes

There was a large group of 25 plus. Some were pure white as in last photo. They were also mixed with Diuris (But no sign of Golden Moth...)

Peter, perhaps C. fuscata; they seemed all 1-flowered. C. carnea orchids are 1-3-flowered.
Beautiful.

Yes, C.fuscata, the flower stem is usually thicker and green in C. carnea, and as Waltraud says can have up to three flowers.
