a small cricket Green head with dark coloured upper body with white stripes and lower body also green. Approximately 5 cm in length (2 inches). This includes its back legs.

Apparently they are more active at night. I don't recall ever seeing one of these before so it was probably unusual to see it in the day

This looks very much like a Blackish Meadow Katydid: http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_crickets/BlackishMeadow.htm The Habitat section is more for where you personally witnessed the organism, though you are welcome to include the most common habitats where they are found, as well.
