This is what it came out to when I trialled my new key, assuming that photo 1 was about twice life size. My description of Brachyscome dentata:
Habitat/Where Found
A variety of habitats including dry forest and woodland, often on flood plains. Snowy Mountains, ACT, tablelands, and the ranges.
Notes
Perennial herb, occasionally annual, to 0.5 m tall. Stems sparsely to densely woolly, occasionally also sticky-hairy. Basal leaves sometimes withering early. Stem leaves alternating up the stems. Leaves 2-10.5 cm long, 1-28 mm wide. Flower heads with 20-71 white to mauve (often yellow in bud) 'petals' each 6.4-11.8 mm long, and yellow centres 5.4-10 mm across. Bracts surrounding the flower heads 13-30. Flowers most of the year.

Not sure how this slipped through the cracks but this isn't Brachyscome dentata. I'd suggest Symphyotrichum novi-belgi given the proximity to the creek line.
