I think it is either Dillwynia sericea or Dillwynia sp. Trichopoda. I need to see the shape of the calyx, which cups the flower, to decide one or the other. The leaves do not apoear to be twisted longitudinally, which rules out Dillwynia phylicoides.

Dillwynia sp. Yetholme also found here, https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3382961.

Oops. I meant Dillwynia sp. Yetholme.

I'm inclined to think it is Dillwynia sericea as the flowers appear to be in pairs and leaves seem to have an uneven distribution along stem.
