Could it be Acacia rubida?

Acacia rubida but I didn't see any bipinnate leaves which would confirm it for me.

A. rubida has a particular shade of olive-green leaves, which assist in its identification in the absence of persistent bipinnate leaves.

So Rainer do you think that this is the correct colour or not and photos can sometimes be a bit dis-honest re colour?

Pretty confident. Last week when photographing A. rubidas in the valley below Shepherds Lookout, you could see the olive-green of this species standing out for many hundreds of metres.
