Using the Moths of Victoria visual key (Part 4) to Geometrinae its probably C. assimilis which is acknowledged as occurring in Queensland - given the forewings are very plain and only yellow fringes visible. Looks worn. The reddish legs fit.

Ian, I think assimilis is the best fit, I have the specimen, now more faded, face brownish, white fillet and thin reddish collar, but no sign of colour at the apex of the forewing
