Cassytha pubescens has stems 0.5-1.5 mm diameter. Cassytha melantha, which also occurs in the ACT, has stems 1-4 mm wide. The easiest way to tell them apart is by the fruit.

Are you prepared to accept from detail of original photo that it is pubescent?

That does not really help. Immature stems of melantha are hairy also.
