It might be Lasiopetalum macrophyllum, though I have only seen that species much farther south. The plant is really too young to say.

I agree it looks like a young Lasiopetalum. I agree its too hard to say which species. Lasiopetalum ferrugineum var. ferrugineum approaches Lasiopetalum ferrugineum var. cordatum when young with broader leaves and the base cordate or lobed (Bob Coveny pers. comm. Herb Syd.)
