Can anyone advise how to ghet the image to work?

I hope that it works this time. :-)

It's a Calliandra. It's hard to tell without seeing the shrub too, but I'd say its most likely C haematocephala. The other option is C emarginata but that usually does not have such a dense powder-puff.
C haematocephala is a rather broad spreading shrub with long arching branches. C emarginata is a more delicate upright and sort of twiggy shrub.
They are all very pretty though and the birds love'em for nectar. Occasionally make seeds but can be struck from cuttings.

Should have added, sorry, that its not a native australian plant - endemic to the south american areas and islands I think

Yes, nice looking calliandra too! I'm sure that, or something very similar, caught my eye about a week or so ago at my local nursery.

Thanks, all.

I was hoping it might have been native. Bummer.
