After Biloela, Queensland

Update - Searched the internet - found out what the plant is called - it's a weed and you can read about it { here }

Winter 2018 continued.  After we left Biloela Queensland some distance up the road heading west in the middle of now where I spied these flowers in the bush, so I requested that we stop in a safe place so an investigation could take place.
Have no idea what these blooms are called but they do stand out in the bush, the second photo you can see the attempt to keep a 'pink' ribbon around where they grow.
The bottom photo of the map is where we were heading from Biloela to Emerald in Queensland.
