This one keyed fairly easily to Geranium sp. 5 in Vicflora, the plants are nearly completely glabrous (including on the upper leaf surface) which rules out G.retrorsum. See Geranium retrorsum (Grassland Cranesbill) for true G.retrorsum.
It also means, sigh, that I have a few Geraniums to reidentify.

Actually, having another look at the key, what I've just called "true G.retrorsum" looks an awful lot like Geranium sp 3 which apparently also occurs in the ACT. Sit tight guys. This is gonna be a long one.
