I am fairly sure it is not Acacia pravissima, which has two longtitudinal vains. It does not look quite right for Acacia gunnii, which has smaller leaves than the other two, and with sharp pointed tips.

The phyllides look too sharp and pointed for A. cultriformis. The glands also seem too prominent. But I don't think it is A. pravissima either.

The phyllodes in cultriformis are quite variable. See http://worldwidewattle.com/imagegallery/image.php?p=0&l=c&id=20568&o=1

Thanks Betty. The ones on Mt Mugga Mugga and Isaacs Ridge are usually more rounded.

The photos are very clear. If you could follow up when it is in flower, that would be nice.

I agree: A cultriformis: gland on upper margin at widest part of phyllode, prominent mid vein, faint lateral veins (see top right phyllode). PlantNet comments: "Very variable in phyllode shape and may be confused with Acacia pravissima which has a secondary longitudinal vein." http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/cgi-bin/NSWfl.pl?page=nswfl&lvl=sp&name=Acacia~cultriformis

This is a little lone tree that's smack bang in the middle of huge Drosera and Early Nancy populations.

I have already recorded (flowering) A. culitriformis nearby see http://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3361649. This non local species has been planted along Federal Highway and is invading Mt Majura nature reserve from the north. We can't win!!!

Aaron i should train you up and give you a bushcare kit with tools and a pouch for a little herbicide dabber - You are getting around more than i and removing single plants would be of much value.
Just joking - i know your time is very limited...
Regarding the hawthorn that you recorded recently along Oldfield lane (http://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3376535): was it in the nature reserve or in the horse holding paddock? I probably need to follow up north of oldfiled lane (nature reserve) to get those overlooked & regrowth woody weeds before seriously starting in the paddock ...
