My guess would be, Noctuidae, Catocalinae.
The patterns you indicate could be mainly visible in UV light.

Thanks.

No luck with further search doh.
Those white dots seems obvious, but can't google find any image like that.

Can't help any further. It's a bit too far North for me. FYI if you go to the Catocalinae page on my website you will find many similar. "The Insects of Townsville".

That should have black dots on end of wings (Heliothis nubigera): http://www.leps.i...oNubig.htm

Anyway I got tip it should be Helicoverpa armigera, Entered that and since I lost track a bit of things I belive this: http://agrozoo.ne...37988a2b9d is the exact catterpilar from which the upper coccon and adult followed.
The date 04.10.2012 fits by my memory --> last autumn.

The catterpilar was determined separately so I think Helicoverpa armigera might be right.
