I think these have to be Sarcophaga sp. They were taken at Banka Banka Station (station = large sheep or cattle farm in Australia). There was a large Ficus sp in the campground, buzzing with several sorts of flies, including these.

This fly belongs clearly to the Sarcophagidae family. As it is from Australia and there are no bristles visible, there cannot be said more by me. Remarkable are the reflexions of the light by the tomentose parts of the body. They must have great importance in the social biology of this family, but you rarely see comments on this feature.
