Cool. I'm not familiar with Eremophila, although I've heard of "poverty bush". They don't grow in Tasmania (or at least my books don't list them).

Not one I know, but makes me think of a Correa of some sort: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correa_%28plant%29 I grow several species in my front yard for the Honeyeaters.
