Excellent find! I've only seen it a few hundred metres below the Mt Franklin Road (first ACT sighting, late 1990s I think). Also be on the lookout for G. dicarpa, which we found a little below the G. microphylla, same region. Both sightings were in great matted clumps in seeps on the east-facing side to the road.
