Maybe the introduced wattle Acacia iteaphylla

The leaves look a bit narrow for A. iteophylla. It could be A. boormanii or A. juncifolia. Both of these have been found on Farrer Ridge as garden escapes, so there could be similar escapees on Mount Ainslie.

Try Acacia subulata. There was one on Isaacs Ridge until it was cut down during fire hazard reduction. I'm not sure if I have photos of it in bud.

I asked Greg Baines about this and he said , it looks like A. linearifolia to me, the straight pods and bent tips to the phylodes look correct. A. linearifolia is a common in gardens, landscape plantings and old reveg projects around town. It is naturalised in a few places.

Hi Silke
Did you or someone else of the Weeders remove the A. linearifolia that you posted here?
