This isn't L.obovatum, so I have undone your confirmation Luke. It lacks the blunt tipped leaves.

Michael see my comment, I’m certain this isn’t L.obovatum

Certainly not multicaule as it is also flowering at the site and is very different

I would perhaps argue that makes L.multicaule more likely, the species can be either prostrate or erect. But will always have long arching stems.

Ok, I believe that Leptospermum multicaule is the most likely ID. However, these images provided do not allow me to apply any of the keys to this genre so we will have to let this sit for now. If you could return when the plants are fruiting we can be sure.

These plants are too short for L.obovatum, and have long arching stems which isn't a feature of that species.
