Identify North Sydney coast tree

It looks suspiciously like a broccoli... can you help me identify what it is? Thank you.

I'd say a melaleuca of sorts, very poor photo.

Can't say for sure, but could be Melaleuca armillaris. They get that 'broccoli' look about 'em when they're on the coast in very windy, dry and exposed conditions. Lots up at North Head in Sydney. They are a common street tree but they look vastly different in the suburbs!

Thank you for the replies... Yes, the photo was taken at North Heads.
