I think it's in flower, but not too sure about this plant.

It might be Erigeron bonariense. The identification key in Vicflora needs to know the length of the flower heads, whether the narrow bracts surrounding the flower heads are hairy or not, and the colour of the insides of the bracts when the plant is seeding and the bracts have opened up.
The Plantnet key to the species of Erigeron that used to be Conyza has disappeared.

Ok thank you! I didn't check that on this occasion, but I'll make sure I keep it in mind for next time
