Wrong habitat altogether at that altitude. Possibly Allocasuarina distyla.

It was pretty small, maybe it is Allocasuarina diminuta subsp. annectens

From the look of the branchlets, this is probably a young Allocasuarina littoralis (hairs obvious in the furrows, longish acute, erect teeth). A. diminuta is also in the area but usually has no visible hairs in the furrows and the teeth are rather broadly acute and spreading towards the apex. And A. distyla branchlets are more robust than these with a yellowish 'stripe' down the middle of the branchlet articles.

I have added another sighting 4 weeks later in a similar area (however maybe different Allocasuarina) : Allocasuarina distyla (Shrubby Sheoak)
