Very compact form - maybe regularly pruned by wallabies?

Coming in cold, I don’t whether this is Mirbelia or Dillwynia from photos. The Plantnet key separates them on the basis that Mirbelia pods are longitudinally grooved above while a lot of other genera including Dillwynia do not. A more difficult character is that Mirbelia ovaries are partly divided by a longitudinal partition inside, and Dillwynia and other genera do not.

Interesting. I'll check out the pods.

Narrow spirally twisted leaves are characteristic
