I went by the ANIC specimens on BOLD https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=324040 where the broad, curved marking is of various widths. This species was the only one among the 43 named sp on BOLD https://bold-au.hobern.net/taxon.php?taxid=2821 that matched these moths having the bold curved mark, below that a band extending right across the wings, below that another strong band below which is a dark metallic patch with pale highlights (this was best seen in the group shot you had removed). The markings of G. asteriella do not correspond with these moths.

The two moths in this photo look to me like different species, with differing widths and curvatures of the pale crescents. One looks to me like Glyphipterix asteriella, or maybe one of the other 38 named Australian species that are unillustrated in LBH.

The photos still have more than one moth species on them. Better to crop each photo into pieces so that each has only one individual moth on it, and submit them to NatureMapr separately, then we can name each one for you. Not so pretty, but then this plarform is more about science rather than aesthetics.
