Did you happen to get any closer photos of the leaves?

Added photo which includes leaves. Definitely neither X. bracteatum nor X. viscosum

Ahhhh, it's a tricky one. I think given where it is X.palustre (or actually X.andrewiae If i'm reading Vicflora right) will be most likely. X.subundulatum has also been recorded from the vicinity, but these may be misIDs, it is a tad low and not exaclty herbfield. Agree we can rule out bracteatum and viscosum
