Hi Phillicondor,

I am not sure what you have there, however the photo quality does make it difficult. I would suggest taking some more photos with a closer shot of the leaves and flowers if it has any.

Could be a baeckea, babingtonia virgata? Pretty sure they have changed names again now..... Clearer pics of bark, flowers and foliage will help. Preferably close ups.

I believe Boics is 100 % correct despite the photo quality
