Unknown purpler flower

Question

Hi, i found this flower in south east suburbs of Melbourne.  It kind of looks like an orchid flower to me, but i dont really know anything about flowers. 

 

Anyone know what it is?  It has a single stem thats kind of furry.  I couldnt see what it looked like at the base, it was growing in some long wet grass.

Violet.

 

I know sweet FA about 'em, but I'm sure the hairy stem would be a clue for those who know their plants better - if you could get some shots of the leaves (it looks like one has been cut off in the top right corner - they are usually heart-shaped to lily-pad-shaped if you're trying to separate them from surrounding plants), that might help narrow it down?

Viola odorata perhaps, or something that looks very similar atleast
