It does appear to be more south than it's recorded range. Hopefully the plant moderators will advise. Another good record Cate.

Appears to be OK. However, it is not a species I am familiar with.

Certainly looks like it. The only other record from the south coast I know of is an early record from the Illawarra. I have been looking for this plant for 30 years and never found it.
Please make a collection and send to one of the recognised herbaria.
Well done.

Yes, I know this plant from doing bush regen in Sydney but have never seen it down this far. I will take some samples and send to herbarium in Canberra.
