Any chance you have a photo of the side on view of the thorax of the dragonfly? i.e. in these photos, right side of the dragonfly? I can see some hints of the yellow markings there, but can't see them all and they may be helpful to identify.

Hi @KorinneM - BOM says Hobart was around 19-20 C that time of day. I was in a valley, so maybe slightly cooler, but probably no lower than 16 C.
