Probably a garden escape.

Mike and MichaelMulvaney I never saw a Correa sp. garden escape in the Mts Majura Ainslie reserves although there are certainly many planted in the adjoining gardens. I wonder whether there are any hints of plantings such as whether the other plants at the siten are species which are non-locals. In Hackett are road islands close to nature reserve which were planted with Grevillea rosmarinifolia and other non-locals invasive Australian species; whether by government or local residents I don't know.

If it was planted, it has since been abandoned. There are non-native garden plants next to it.
