Oh Jan it looks dead to me, what a shame cut a bit off and see if it is green in centre of the stem, is the soil free draining as they grow in sandy soil over in the West, have a look at the link below it may help.

Now over to all our WA members...Cheers..MM.

Yes, looks dead to me too. Is it a grafted one? You'd expect a grafted plant to cope with the humidity better than one on it's own roots.
You might try posting on the native plants forum, there's probably someone there who'll be able to help.

Looks to me like you have mulched right up to the trunk...a bit hard to tell though so I may be wrong, but if so, that may be the problem. It looks dead to me, sorry.

Even if it's not dead yet, there's no way it will recover - they're not as forgiving as some.

The good news is, if it's a grafted one you can take it back - they're 'guaranteed to grow for you'.
