Hi Kim, thanks for this, I'm wondering if it might be a female Ischnura aurora?
I found a nice picture at http://photos.rnr.id.au/Data/Animals/Insects/Odonata/Ischnura%20aurora.html

Kind regards, Roy.

Thanks Roy, having read the diagnostics for the 2 spp, I agree it is Ischnura aurora since the tip abdominal segments are dark above.
