It is a Handsome Macrotona Grasshopper - binomial name: Macrotona mjoebergi
http://www.brisbaneinsects.com/brisbane_grasshoppers/Macrotona.htm
The area where it was found was eucalypt forest with an understorey of native grasses
and is close to both the Ford Rd and Alex Hills conservation areas that Peter Chew of the above Brisbane Insects web site photographed and reported his specimens.

It is rather a handsome grasshopper! Looking fabulous in its striped suit. Great find.
