Drooping native - possibly an acacia

The photos of the leaves are not good enough to tell whether this is Acacia pravissima or Acacia cultrifirmis. However, pravissima tends to weep and cultrformis does not.

The degree of weeping and the dull glaucousness of the phyllodes suggests they may be hairy. It looks more like A. vestita to me. This emphasises the importance of obtaining a clear close-up of the phyllodes.

Searched for this plant today to verify ID, and could not locate at the coordinates provided, or in nearby vicinity.

Agree with Varanus, this looks like A. vestita to me. @Tapirlord?

Fuzzy phyllodes and weeping habitat make this A.vestita, I agree.
