I'd agree that this one looks like Acrothamnus, and given we are in Tallanganda it will be a good match for Acrothamnus hookeri. The corolla lobes being shorter than the tube is a good indicator to exclude Styphelia; I would say that flower spike, though obviously droopy, aren't decurved and they have that bell-flower look of a Cryptandra which also suggests Acrothamnus. I couldn't find any images of plants quite like yours (with the drooping spikes), but i've known this species to have drooping branches when well laden with fruit so figured if heavily laden with flowers then you might get the same effect.

_Steganthera laxiflora_ (Benth.) Whiffin & Foreman subsp. _laxiflora_ :
https://apps.lucidcentral.org/rainforest/text/entities/steganthera_laxiflora_subsp._laxiflora.htm

From ca. 2014 I learned this species, from this same individual tree, and more,
including photographing this individual tree, foliage, flowering and habit .

I will add this taxon to NatureMapr's taxonomy, identify this your sighting and
get around to uploading my own multiple sightings here into NatureMapr, including my photographs of these parts of this tree.

@Tapirlord would love your input on this. It's not quite right for L gelidus, but I can't find anything it fits. Drooping habit, flowers in clusters of 6-8 on short stalks, 5 attached petals with quite a lot of hairs so definitely Styphelidae. Dry forest, but in a semi-permanent creek line. Acrothamnus sp was suggested on iNat but I can't find any which have that drooping habit.
