There were at least three of these huge bee-flies pollinating the Conostylis. I took the photos in October 2012, on my old phone, but I still haven't found an ID. Look at them! They're huge!Hammond Park, Perth EDIT: Jean Hort suggested Oncodosia - apparently there's four species, all found only in Southern Australia, and judging by the black and white checks, this one is O. patula, which is found here in Perth.

I was fortunate enough to see two of these beeflies having a battle. It is a large beefly with strong vein markings on the wings. I heard the two males (I presume) first and they were flying and crashing into each other. One sat down for a little while allowing me to move in for a couple of photos before he buzzed off very fast. I notice he has damage on both wings.

The flies were quite plentiful and appeared to be laying eggs while hovering above small ant nests and disturbed sand on the track. These were also hovering over the leaf litter along the track edge. They occasionally rested momentarily on the sand or perched on low shrubs and grasses.
