Could you make photo 2 into photo 1 so I could have a good look at the glands please.

Betty, I put this on as Acacia dealbata.

Afraid not. Apart from normally having greyish foliage, dealbata has glands only at the bases of the leaflets. Mearnsii also has glands between the leaflets, and has green foliage.
