Please refer to this scholarly Au Entomology journal article:
Lambkin, Trevor A, & Kendall, Ross. (2016)
The status of _Yoma algina_ (Boisduval, 1832) and _Y. Sabina_ (Cramer, 1780) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae: Nymphalinae) in Australia.
The Australian Entomologist, 43 (4) 211--234.

With this quality information article to hand,
to my eyes, not an entomologist,
I am learning about that this looks to identify to _Yoma algina_ .

@donhe Don Herbison–Evans – if you have time please identify this butterfly for us all ?

Quite interesting and good challenge kind of learning the details and differences betwen these beautiful butterflies' two species.
