Really please to get some photos of this pretty moth the other day at Araluen Botanical Gardens in West Aust. Took me a few days to get a postitive ID but thanks to flickr and its Field Guide to butterflies and moths of Aust. group I managed to see another like it. 
White -banded Sun moth.
Hi shoop. Do you know anything about this lovely creature's ecology - how it breeds, what plants it favours, its range etc?
Wow, beautiful colours. Is the orange intended to warn predators, like with Monarch butterflies?
Sorry guys ,I have no idea about this moth as I can't really seem to find much info on the net , it was hard enough trying to get an ID . I knew it had to be a moth as I have been trying to make myself familiar with what butterflies there are here in Perth. Searched the net and the closest I came too was the Graceful sun moth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBGi0FD-ac4 But with the photos of the moth I took having the clear white bands I had doubts that it could be the Graceful Sun moth. So I took a stab in the dark and looked through one of the groups I am in on flickr and BOOM there it was. ! Maybe one of you guys might have better luck than I at finding any info on this beautiful moth.

yes I think your right snoop it is a sun moth, because these are the only moths with a prominently clubbed antennae like butterflies
woko the larvae feed underground on the roots & rhizomes of grasses and sedges.
See it! Hear it!

Another beauty shoop! Amazing fact about the larvae feeding - I always picture butterfly eggs on a leaf, with a caterpillar munching through same later - too many readings of the Hungry Hungry Caterpillar at school I think
. So many wonderful natrual world things to learn still!

Thanks, Darin. Interesting information. Those grasses & sedges need conserving.
