The shrub is probably Kunzea ambigua, but the flowers are orchids. Just as well I was just down that way myself, so I know what's in flower at the moment!

Hi Jackie,
These look like one of the Glossodia sp., probably G. minor.
Thanks, Natureguy

This looks like the same patch of flowers in the sighting https://atlasoflife.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3437122

Jackie, when I reversed the confirmation as Cyanicula caerulea, the whole line disappeared. So I suggested it again.

That's a whoops on my part. I put one of our Glossodia minor shots up as Cyanicula caerulea too, but managed to correct it before too long, but forgot about this one. Running on autopilot a bit there.
