The little orange flowers appear to be those of an Epidendrum planted behind your Cymbidium.   Do you have pictures of the flowers and when does this species normally bloom for you?  Most of my native Australian orchids if not all are Dendrobium species.

Commonly known as "Snake Plant" or "Snake Orchid" because of the very long pseudobulbs they produce. They're right up and down the east coast in cooler or more humid areas.

There's two other Australian Cymbidiums, C. madiddum and C. canaliculatum. Madiddum grows in rainforest or wet sclerophyl forest on the east coast.

Canaliculatum grows across the north of the country and partly down the east coast. It would have to be the most heat and sun tolerant of all Cymbidiums.
