Leaves look too narrow. Could be Acacia floribunda. There was a bit of confusion between the two a few years ago.

Leaves are narrower and 3 veins that you see in longifolra are less distinct and the leaf of floribunda has a pointy tip and the flower stalks are longer.

Hmm, I might need to revisit my earlier A. longifolia records then.
Anyhow, I treat both A floribunda and A longifolia.

Yeah - you don't really need to know the difference - they are both weeds
