Fairly confident this is Notelaea microcarpa. N neglecta would be extremely unusual.

Hi Christine, Roger Farrow sent some photos of this plant to Kevin Mills (publisher of Budawangia a monthly plant newsletter) who has also identified this as N neglecta. Plantnet says that Notelaea microcarpa occurs north from the Hunter Valley. It also says that Notelaea neglecta grows in dry sclerophyll forest, usually on limestone or occasionally on sandstone; from Bungonia Gorge to Capertee area.

@RobG1 thank you for the clarification. I'm quite happy to accept that. I agree, it's just very unusual to find in our area (as is microcarpa, to be fair), and there is a scarcity of sightings on iNat which made it seem even more unlikely. I'll confirm it now based on your info. :)

I agree wiht Kevin, defs N.neglecta. It is known from Bungonia gorge

@Tapirlord as always, I defer to your knowledge. Was just odd to see so few iNat records. Admittedly didn't have time to check bionet. Nifty plant, regardless, and a nice find, @RobG1.
