I found it under some plywood rubbish behind a shop in Robertson in the Southern Highlands.

It's a species of Ooperipatus. This is an oviparous genus that is distributed mainly in south-eastern NSW. They never seem to be locally abundant, so it's a bit of a special find. Some locality info could get it down to species.
