Fisher Parkland
Kangaroo Grass Themeda triandra
Common Everlasting Chrysocephalum apiculatum. These everlastings are short plants growing to about 60 cm max with a spreading habit, with grey green leaves.
Detail of the flowers
This guy is a Longhorn Beetle (Cerambycidae). Sadly lacking in beautiful expensive insect field guides so don't know any more about him.
A really long-legged fly

Bullen Range II
Slender Westringia Westringia eremicolia
Narrow-leaf Bitter Pea Daviesa mimosoides with triangular pods
These guys look like final instar larvae of some kind of leaf-beetle (Chrysomelids). When the camera came close they waved their false-head tails around. The larvae and adult beetles live on the trees but pupate in the soil.

Burgan Kunzea ericoides in flower. The leaves and flowers are tiny, smaller than those of surrounding tea trees. Also, stamens are longer than the petals whereas in tea trees they are smaller.
Woolly tea-tree Leptospermum lanigerum, with the flowers nearly finished. The underside of the flowers are very fuzzy.
Hop Bush Dodonaea viscosa. There are many subspecies of this plant. This one has long thin leaves.
