Roughly coincides with the photo for a F. phricotypa female:-
https://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/dipt/phricotypa.html
however there no row of four? dots 1/3 from base of forewing (as in this sighting) in the LBH photo as there are for F. bradymorpha on Bold Hobern.
https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=375579
Also the Bold Hobern specimeba for P. phricotypa don;t show outer forewing dots as for this sighting, see above, rather a zizg pattern of a diffuse faint line.
This suggests to me this sighting may be F. bradymorpha or some other Fisera spp.

Could this be F. bradymorpha ? It has the dark line down the thorax, 2 rows of dark dots on forewings plus pale dark spot. Some BOLD specimens have a bit of a hook on the wing tip.

Some specimens (with 2 dot rows) on iNat are fawn or pale colour

The Galaxias spp. of the Dorrigo plateau are poorly described: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/264789657_Dorrigo_Plateau_-_a_biodiversity_hot-spot_for_galaxiids

I've marked this as G. olidus, however it may be an undescribed species. @MattBeitzel any thoughts?
