Steve,
	I thought it looked sort of Typhoium like and found this later

http://www.kimberleypage.com.au/2011/01/kununurra-new-arum-lily-species-found/

	and if you Google "New Typhonium Species in Northern 
Australia' you'll get descriptions of T taylori, T. jonesii and T 
mirabile.  There's at least 20 Typhonium species in Australia and new 
ones pop up fairly regularly.

	The one you found dates back to May, 2010 if not earlier. 
	Best	Jim W.
