I am inclined to think this is Craspedia jamesii. However, I am sure that you looked at the bracts described in PlantNET. Could you confirm that you have done so and you do not believe it is C. jamesii?
I have added an extra image but I don't think it helps. I tried to get a photo from underneath but light levels and wind gusts were against me so the resultant images were useless. I wasn't familiar enough with Craspedia jamesii and memory failed me when it came to the importance of the bract shape. But I don't recall it looking like the image I saw in the PlantNET photo. However, I hope to get back to this area later this week or after the next lot of rain as there was much in flower still to photograph I will try to get the necessary image then.
I have decided it is probably Craspedia jamesii on the basis that the flower head appears to be hemispherical rather than globular, the stem leaves are stem clasping, and the general bracts of the flower head appear to be 'narrow-ovate with narrow scarious margins' rather than broad-ovate with broad scarious margins' to quote PlantNET.
