User's notes
Underside of leaf had a few hairs along main veins. Umbel was dense, small (2-3 mm in diameter), about 12 flowers, and hidden underneath the much taller canopy of leaves.
Mass of plants growing over rocks of Ginninderra Creek; plants rapidly withering after creek water level dropped to below surface at this point.

Herbarium confirms this as Hydrocotyle sibthorpioides, based on leaf shape, cluster of hairs just below lamina, and little spiney hair-like structures along veins n underside of leaf.
