Tibicen resonans
Dividing the length of the image by 42 mm, and applying the same ratio to the head, it is 17 mm wide. This is wider than the head of T. auletes (14.5-16 mm) so I am guessing that you have T. resonans, one of the largest of the southern cicadas.

 
Thanks
Andy, Thank you so much for your help in ID. I know this isn't the first time you've reponded to one of my ID requests. It takes time to help, and I appreciate your assistance. I am learning slowly to look for and not the differences.
