We call these Bullard Donkey-orchid.
A "Bull"dogs & Leop"ard" cross.
Id confirmed by Robert Lawrence many years ago on SANatureteers Facebook Group.
The last photo shows a comparison between Leopard, Bullard & Bulldog orchids. All photographed within about 20m or so.

A Victorian has suggested that this is C. grumulus. I can't decide; I'll leave it to others.

In my residential garden!! First time this has popped up in 18 months of living here. No idea what fungus it could be associated with; have never seen so much as a single fruiting body come out of my dry, infertile soil, and no known ectomycorrhizal trees around.

Id confirmed by Lachlan Copeland and Dean Rouse - who said maybe a bit of keltonii influence in this specimen.

Two colonies of just over a dozen plants each, scatted under broadleaf forest dominated by taraire, tawaroa, puriri with some nikau present. Plants with slight musty scent. Anecdotally fungal gnats seen nearby with one pictured in the third image.

The main reason I’m uploading this observation is to mark the location of a potential clean up site for National Parks.
Someone has gone camping on the pristine shores of Narrawallee Inlet and left behind rubbish strewn over a 50 metre area.
Battery powered whipper sniper, butane gas stove, Plastic bags and wrappers, 2 crab nets, PVC piping, PFAS coated cooking pans and much more. So sad that people do this.

Tag naming it 'frog'. Not sure what this is. I would have said just a freak, but there were two plants about 7 metres apart, so... Plant 400-600mm tall, thin narrow-channeled leaf, 2 bracts, 4-6 flowers. I thied to find something else like them but no good, apart from one other slightly similar I found in Welling a while back... The substrate was shallow volcanic almost brittle quartz over basalt I think... Any thoughts?@haydenj @bill-nz @joedillon @robbiegraham @ianstgeorge

Several individuals in a loose colony. Hybrids? Seems labellum too bristly for P. pusilla, sepal free-points too long and flowers too upright for P. squamata and sepal free-points too short for P. aciculiformis (or its Beechworth variant). P. hamata also flowering nearby.

Enfield State Park.
I think it's a pure yellow form of sulphurea but it could also be orientis (which is known to have pure yellow forms).

Photos are from a while ago and plant not seen for some time on the site. Photos probably not sufficient to confirm ID, but was identified as Diuris behrii at the time, and does appear to be.

Need to see flower to get down to species level but found this interesting as the bulb was completely uncovered. It was growing on a rotten log.
