If it is Goodenia pinnatifida, the flower stalk is extremely short.

The notch in the tip of the lower petals makes this look more like Velleia paradoxa to me and the leaf shape fits that species alright too. Not sure about the side on flower though. In my V. paradoxa shots the outer petal surface does not have that dark strip, and the stem is hairy. But it doesn't look like G. pinnatifida on leaf shape. I just saw Velleia in flower today, so the timing is good for that species.

Velleia Paradoxa is on the species list for the site so highly likely.
