Probably OK. However, without a good photo of the sepals, there is a chance that it could be Geranium obtusisepalum. This however is normally at higher altitudes.

Thanks Betty, I've added an image that shows some of the hairs on the sepals which may help? The site (one of my old study sites from the 1980's) is at just under 600m altitude (Cotter Dam 1:25000 CMA map) and in the end it was the altitude that decided my guess at species identification. Ken

Ken, it was whether the sepals have a mucro (a point sticking out) (Geranium soladeri), or are obtuse (Geranium obtusisepalum) that I wanted to see. Betty
