Maybe? I’ll have another look on my bigger screen. If so it could be G.elated

@Tapirlord I've had a look through the Gonocarpus genus in PlantNet and the only species which matches is G hirtus, which would be well out of region. I'm stumped.

I still think Gonocarpus elatus is likely. I'm curious which features you are using to get to G.hirtus Tina? I've not actually tried to key this myself, but G.elatus looks ok to me just from reading the description.

@Tapirlord wasn't using the key, just reading descriptions and missed the distribution for G elatus. You're likely correct, in that case. Why were you hesitant?

(I've just updated the location. It's in a steep, rocky creek line on Mt Majura)

I think i must've been looking at it on my phone screen initially and was a bit unsure exactly what I was looking at. Having reviewed the sighting a few times I think G.elatus is a good ID.
