This plant is very intriguing. The plant in the second image I would call D. pardina, but the plant in the first image is bright yellow and an unusual shape. Possibly a hybrid between D. pardina and D. sulphurea, but I could be overthinking it.

Thanks Matt, unfortunately I probably won't get back to Goorrooyarroo to get more photos in the next couple of weeks.

That's OK. I will wait to hear what others have to say about this sighting before I continue further.

Agree the second plant looks like pardina. First one not sure, looks along the lines of nigromontana? Maybe best to confirm as pardina given second photo
