Acacia baueri is a largely coastal species found further north. On Mt majura this is more likely Acacia gunnii :).

OK, re your comment not A. baueri, however I have seen A. gunnii / ploughshare wattle before and this specimen looks quite different to me. It doesn't have the characteristic "plough share" shaped leaves ??
