I am fairly confident of this ID, even though it is not growing on or at the top of a cliff. The character in the Plantnet key which distinguishes it from Dracophyylum secundum is that the leaf edges are smooth, while those of Dracophyllym secundum are finely toothed.

Hi Betty - it was growing out the side of a cliff face, about 2m from the top.

Agree with D. oceanicum, a species restricted to the Jervis Bay area, growing on sandstone cliffs not far from the sea. A larger plant than D.secundum.
