Looking at it again, I think Aaron may be correct and it is a Calochilus sp.

I agree with Aaron. The part of the fruit above the main fruiting body seems a little long for Thelymitra. I have some images of Calochilus fruit I am yet to upload, and they look identical to Michael's images. As they were among Thelymitra, I was able to compare the two.

I think you can even see remnants of beard in image 3.
