Not convincing. It needs to be reared in captivity to get an adult male moth to get a secure determination of the species.

@donhe I think they were bits of leaf, just very dry eucalyptus leaves. The middle vein of the leaf is visible in the last photo, top most leaf, running down right hand side (vertically oriented in the photo)

This appears to cover the case with pieces of bark, not leaf like M. phyllosaca,
