Without leaves it is impossible to confirm this. Convolvulus erubescens has been split several ways and the name Convolvulus erubescens now only refers to a coastal species north from Sydney. However, there is a possibility that this photo is of the weed Convolvulus arvensis.

As far as I could see, it didn't have any obvious leaves. May have been hidden by grass, if so, very small.
Hope this helps

The leaves are clearly shown in the photo along with a bud. It looks like C. erubescens as per Flora of NSW. description. I have C.angustissima in my garden and it has a different habit to that found on Farrer Ridge and Mt Wanniassa. The leaves of C.arvensis are very similar to C.angustissima it is not that. Although mentioned in yours and Sarah Sharps field guides C. erubescens is not included in the ACT census.
