Not sure about this one, and if this species even would be at this location, but it doesn't look right for M. parvistaminea to me. @tapirlord any ideas?

Location is good for Melaleuca parvistaminea, ie the species has been recorded from the general area previously, according to ALA.
the reasons for suggesting M. parvistaminea were: prominent oil glands on lower surface; capsules being densely arranged, rather than scattered, separated.

Thanks - my suggestion was a bit questionable, but the plant just doesn't look like any other M. parvistaminea to me, but perhaps it is just a straggly individual

Size of leaves and shape of fruits suggests Callistemon Pityoides
