My mistaken previous identification.

Matches _Rhodosphaera rhodanthema_ ... .

Recorded further north. Not recorded in this area.
Recorded from Port Macquarie northwards and inland NW in the 'great dividing ranges' from there,
except one record in Newcastle near coastal region, Blackbutt Reserve.

By reference to the Atlas of Living Au, the Australasian Virtual Herbarium, and the Flora of NSW online PlantNet.
