This non native occurs all through Tidbinbilla but only as scattered occurences.

I was wrong! I agree with galah681: Centaurium erythraea

Centaurium sp. The photo is from the wrong angle to show how the flowers come off from the stem. It could be Centaurium tenuiflorum. The easiest way to tell them apart is to look at the basal rosette of leaves. In Centaurium erythraea this is very obvious. In Centaurium tenuiflorum it is missing or only weakly developed.

I think all the sightings I have found are missing any basal rosette of leaves so it is likely they are all Centaureum tenuiflorum. A pity that they are still exotic.
