No idea of ID, sorry Jackie. Growing wild in a garden area so could be a weed.

Nope, native, but it does like a bit of disturbance. Proliferates in our orchard after we burnt the grass off.

Oh good. I was wondering about the cudweeds, as the leaves looked right. Thanks!

Yeah, there's the two common natives, this one and japonicus which is shorter and mat forming, then there's a couple of common exotic cudweeds, Gamochaeta spp. Regrettably they also like a bit of disturbance and are becoming more common on our place as roo grazing pressure reduces the grass cover.
