Cassinia arcuata is woody and the foliage has a distinctive curry smell.

It is definitely not a Cassinia, and very different from any Conyza species I have seen. I looked at images of Conyza bilbaoana, but they are not close enough.
Since it is so different I would like to get a positive ID. Am happy to collect a specimen to do so.

Definitely not a Conyza sp.
I have got some more photos, and would like to avoid the long trip to ANBG if possible. I've put in two new sightings with pics of the specimens collected:

It looks as if it ought to be Asteraceae but does not key to anything sensible.
