From the internet. "In 2010, South Australia experienced its worst locust plague in 40 years, with the Australian Plague Locust Commission (APLC) reporting widespread infestations and significant crop damage, particularly in the Riverland and Murray Mallee regions. "

So it was Chortoicetes terminifera rather than Austroicetes cruciata

MAYBE ?? the wing pattern on these added crops hint at an ID? Sorry it was a poor quality (low pixel count) camera. My failure to adequately document the grasshoppers surprises me. I think, in ignorance, I thought back then only 1 type of grasshopper formed plagues.
