Thanks Dave. I knew I should have remembered the Senna obtusifolia, it is in fact a weed here and widespread. I googled Tradescantia and the image was very similar to mine but much darker blue. I'll have a close look next time I'm out.

This photo is of a Swamp Bloodwood, Eucalyptus ptychocarpa. Common around rivers and popular in gardens, for those that have room for a medium sized sprawly tree. There's a bit of variation in flower colour.

9 March 2009 Should have checked before, "they" recently renamed a lot of eucalypts 'corymbia' and this one became Corymbia ptychocarpa.
