I would like an ID on two plants currently flowering in a garden in
Merimbula (far south coast of NSW).

The individual tubes of the flowers are 2 - 3 cm long.
They look to be closely related species - or maybe cultivars.

I'm almost certain they are both ericas. The first one has a common name of
"red hairy heath".

Definitely ericas.
Many varieties, prefer slighly acid soil. Excellent Autumn/Winter
flowerers - some flower year round. Not always easy to obtain though,
seem to have gone a bit out of fashion.
