Hi Bill,
thanks for the reply. After looking around I came upon an answer... Halgerda aurantiomaculata but with more yellow then orange.
Regards,

Thanks Gary,
Glad you found an answer. Your sketch certainly looks quite like Steve Grail's photo, with no obvious tubercles, which was also from Mooloolaba. It only goes to show unreliable identifications without photos can be.
Cheers,
