So I'm back to posting images from the mountain. I'm trying to be a little more specific on identification. It was a bit tricky with a lot of them as most of them are past spring flowering and into seeding. There were still quite a few though. Here's the first little selection.

 I think this is Dampiera Purpurea


 I'm pretty sure this is a Hairpin Banksia Banksia Spinulosa

 This flower has caused me quite a lot of bother - I've spent ages looking for it, which is why the following two photos are also of it. I think this plant is only a very juvenile example. I will search for more examples.

 The closest that I can find is that it is of the Phebalium family, but of all of the examples in that link I can't find any that are the same leaf.

 This one is also a challenge. The closest I can find is that it is of the Pomederris family, with three possibilities - helianthemifolia , phylicifolia , sericea . I will try to take some more photos to narrow it down a bit.

 Purple Goodenia Coopernookia Barbata
 I'm pretty sure this is introduced - cute though.

This is a beautiful small plant - it's symetery is stunning. I suspect it's introduced but won't be sure until it flowers.
And a big thankyou to PlantNET
