This one has small leaves, round. I didnt find many of these on my walk yesterday so it could be a non native. Cheers again for any input guys.

I have no idea what it is but looks interesting. Your best bet is to contact your local indigenous plant nursery or council nursery something like that. They should know all these plants. Let us know what they are if you do.

Is it an olive?

:Leaves do look a bit like an olive in tough conditions but I'd suggest it is more likely another of the heaths. Possibly Leucopogon suaveolens (alpine form has smaller, rounded leaves and from the background in these photos it looks like the site is relatively high) or Brachyloma daphnoides

My first thought was an olive too, I have seen plenty in the wild with small leaves like that. However I’m not that confident as my knowledge of natives is pretty limited.

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was Bursaria Spinosa . The photo is a bit dodgy can you remember if it had needle like thorns ?
