Leaves are not that of Crowea exalata subsp. exalata, the flowers can look similar, but silke is right, unfortunately, this is a Centaurium. There is a small orchid is the background of the photo which looks very much like Diplodium truncatum (Little dumpies) and orchid which is reasonably rare in our region. So KMcCue if it would be possible to submit that as a separate sighting, I'd be interested in what the orchid team has to say.
