"WHAT'S THIS?" WEDNESDAY XXII - CALLIANDRA COPIER?

 I love this flower which is so like the calliandra but isn't quite what I've seen before.  I don't know if it's a native or not.  The leaves look different.
This lovely shrub is still flowering in my area, Sunshine Coast, Queensland.
Hopefully, someone can tell me.  The branches trail and in this photo I've propped the branch up to get a better shot of the flowers.  Anyone?
[edit 1.11.12: Thanks again to Ian from Florez Nursery, who tells me this is Powderpuff Lilly-Pilly , Syzygium wilsonii.  Check out his very informative blog at http://floreznursery.blogspot.com.au/]
