Looking at Figures 71 and 72 on page 74 of ' Hawkmoths of Australia' Moulds et al. (CSIRO, Melbourne) which compares the spurs on the forelegs of C. australis and C. cunninghami. I'm not sure I can personally plump for one species over the other based on the first image (enhanced or otherwise). Although I think if I had to choose I'd go for C. australis given I'm not sure I can see a second spur on the foreleg which corresponds with C. cunninghami. I'll defer to donhe on this one!
