Looking for something colorful that will flower most of the year in full sun, prefer no taller than about 30cm. In Australia. Can get pretty dry.

Not sure about whats available where you are, but rule of thumb is that few perenniels bloom for long periods, but many will bloom for a while and have nice foliage for a long time. The periwinkle (creeping myrtle)is one of those. leriope, ajuga.
For extended bloom season you will need to go with trailing or spreading annuals . portulaca might be a good choice, and sometimes continues. Likes full sun, heat, and doesn't mind being dry.

or vinca as mentioned (the annual type)

I like myrtle a lot (Botanical Name - Periwinkle or Vinca). Can be found almost anywhere and will work in full sun.
