I'm not sure if C.tenuifolia has been recorded from NSW, i'm guessing C.ilacina.

I highly doubt this would be C. tenuifolia. I'd be happy with C. lilacina if you are Ciaran.

I'm still a bit unsure here, it may actually be C.paucijuga which i've found is more common in riparian communities than C.lilacina. I'd be more comfortable if we could have a look at the basal leaves, but that's not feasible so perhaps better as Cardamine sp.

Without basal leaves let's leave things here.
