I suspect from the back view it might be Picris angustifolia. However, without leaves I would not like to commit myself.

I thought my leaf photo was unclear but I have added it just in case it helps.

If the leaves are all basal, this is a possibility. The side view looks very like https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/1c3fb9b5-87a0-43e1-8917-a315acf2f625#&gid=1&pid=4 In Vicflora.

Yellow daisies are a problem for me. I am not sure if the leaves are Microseris. I just thought it was not Hypochaeris.

The leaf shape is OK for Micrseris. Plantnet says the leaves are toothed, but Vicflora says they are entire to deeply dissected. What was the diamerer of the flower head?
