It appears to key to Wahlenbergia stricta subsp. alterna. The nearest record of this subspecies to the ACT was in 1988, between the ACT and the Hume Highway. I presume the leaves are on the same plant as the flower.

Yes, the leaves are the same plant. I couldn't get everything in the one photo. This was a larger flower than the small Wahlenbergia that were common nearby. I saw a larger plant a couple of years ago so I will look for more.

An image added for luck. I don't usually photograpgh Wahlenbergia because they keep moving in the breeze.
