Very busy and fast, hence the poor images. The bee was about 10 mm long, feeding at flowers on the margin of the forest.

tiny bees, 4-5 mm long. Swarming in large numbers around various white surfaces, including the flower heads of Pimelea. Very occasionally they would land, males in pursuit of females clambering among the flowers of the inflorescence. Here a female (black face) appears to be pursued by 2 males (yellow face)

Single bee using several adjacent Wahlenbergia flowers as daytime retreats. Periodicallly, it would emerge from deep in the flower to preen or apparently look about. But most of the time it was largely concealed inside the flower's bell.

Possibly Lithurgus (Lithurgus) atratus
Identified as Lithurgus Lithurge atratus on Bowerbird by Roch Desmier de Chenon: "Very interesting bee. Seems for me to be a lithurgine bee. Considering that the Sternal scopa is more reddish brown than light reddish brown and tha facial prominence narrower, Austrothurgus rubricatus can be discarded as well Lithurgus atratiformis. Therefore fitting with Lithurgus Lithurgus atratus Smith. Confirmation is needed by other taxonomists."

Lipotriches modestaHavainnoija
simonoKuvaus
ID by Roch Desmier de Chenon - "Hi Simon, again a very interesting Nomiinae. Lipotriches s. Stricto Subgenus Rhopalomelissa. Oriental species 28, only two reaching North Australia. The right name is now Lipotriches Rhopalomelissa modesta (Smith), Syn. L. halictella Ckl. and L. williamsi Ckl. Lipotriches Rhopalomelissa modesta (Sm.) is known apparently only from Qld : Brisbane. Mackay, Halifax, Cardwell, Mt Carbine, Townsville, Brampton, W. Emerald, Mapleton. Therefore it seems yr observation is the first in WA Durack. There is another species in Qld bigger. Rhopalomelissa pulchriventris (Cam.). Instead of Austronomia collecting pollen Myrtaceae. Asteraceae. Phormiaceae, the Rhopalomelissa are collecting pollen only on Grasses, Poaceae. Very few is known about the behaviour of this species. Have u noted this, and may be u can collect on grasses more specimens for better study. Interested to have some. Tks."

The smallest bee I've ever photographed, measured at a fraction under 3mm.
I couldn't find an exact match for the little black tick in the middle of the head on Padil.
Most on Padil seem bigger, so may be wrong.
Found in Melaleuca flower with many others.
