There are several species with this pattern of leaves and inflorescences.
You would need to see more detail of leaf (technically a phyllode) such as
veining, apex, margin, position of nectary gland, also its dimensions, to
pin it down further. The recently issued Flora of Australia 2 volumes on
Acacia recognises 953 species for Australia alone!
Species that fit the same general pattern as your plant include A.
boormanii, A. caesiella, A. decora (some forms), A. fimbriata. And those are
only the southeastern-Australian species I am familiar with. There may be
others like it in South Aust. or Western Aust. There is no doubt it is an
Australian species.
