Not too sure if Solanum celatum occurs here and leaves look too glabrous for that species. Not too sure really, might key later.

Sounds good to me, S.celatum like most solanums does seem to pop up randomly, but I'm not sure either.

Still not too sure, may also be Solanum silvestre

It's not Solanum celatum, as Bean's key in Telopea 9(3) says the upper surface of it is hairy (cf the upper surface appears glabrous in the photos). Based on Bean's key and the distribution of other species in the same 'group' in AVH, it's most likely to be S. silvestre.
