Additional Image added on 26 Jan. Not sure if this helps to ID species ? This Mistletoe was growing on a 3m Eucalyptus blakelyi. (?), the only one in Full bloom currently at this location. Distinct Red + Yellow-green coloured flowers, Long pendulous leaves. Near Clancy's track.

Max - the may way to tell between the different Amyema sp in teh ACT is whether the central flower in a group of three has a flower stalk or not. Can't tell this from your photo as the blooms hide the stalks.

OK, Thanks a lot Michael, I will go back to this plant and have a closer look for the Flower stalks....😊

Additional 2 pics added on 26 Jan. I think shows flower "stalks" (receptacles). Breezy conditions and higher (out of reach plant). Petals & stamens have dropped I think. Not sure if these 2 pics are any more definitive? Thanks for your time...
