I’m still uncertain of this vibrant red/orange Dillwynia as being D phylicoides? Description of leaves in M Cosgrove “Photographic Guide to Native Plants of the ACT” for this species is spirally twisted - don’t think these are. Could it be Dillwynia Yetholme? It is uncommon with only two plants seen in this woodland

On revision I agree, (having enlarged your images on my computer), the leaves and red flower coluration suggest D. sp Yetholme. :)

Thanks for following up - parrot pea ID is tricky!
I’ve been trying to ID this vibrant tangerine/red one since last year’s sighting - it stood out from the more common yellow/gold/orange

No worries, a pretty looking plant, I've not seen one quite that red :).
