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

Thank you for your help. Much appreciated Forest Dragon
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.
