A bit more info would help as would a better pic.
Looks as if you are in OZ, was the picture taken there?

It looks like Coreopsis tinctoria, a not uncommon constituent of wild
flower mixes, but native to North America.

The foliage is indistinct in the photograph but the blooms look
similar to a form of chrysanthemum that I've seen online advertised as
something called "crazy daisies".

Agreeing with Davie that location and also date of photo would be
helpful as would be one showing the foliage a bit more clearly.

Cheers, Jake

Urgling happily from the dry end of Swansea Bay
because Santa's delivered a new weather station
so now I'll know how dry it is.

 I took the photo this morning. About all I can tell you that I grew the
flower from a packet of seeds which
were sent me from the UK. No identification as to what they were.

Here's another pic showing the leaves.
