Well
That would certainly explain it being labelled  "Silver Wattle" though
obviously not the common silver species.

A decora is evidently  not commonly grown in gardens in Australasia as
neither my Australian nor NZ garden books refer to it at all.

   Hi Moira, Charles,et al,

Acacia decora is mentioned in Australian plants for the garden by Thistle Harris

    "Showy Wattle. This forms a very suitable short hedge,growing to about 5ft.in height,very graceful and dainty. It has narrow,gently curved "leaves",usually with a slight blueish tinge. The globular heads of golden flowersare produced in massed clusters in spring....

Charles' tree looks to be taller than 5ft.
