Not Euphorbia paralias, looks like Leionema diosmeum (Syn. Phebalium diosmeum) or a related taxon.

Were the leaves aromatic when rubbed? This is a good test for the families Myrtaceae (eg gum trees. lilly pillies) and Rutaceae (orange family eg Philotheca, Leionema). From your description, I agree with Plants - probably Leionema diosmeum.

It is on the cover of Flowers of the South Coast & Ranges II.
