A.lanigera??

I think this is Acacia leprosa but there are a few characteristics such as the rounded end which don't fit the description. If it is leprosa it is an uncommon species within the CNM region.

Could A. stricta be a match? It has the rounded phyllode ends. No sightings on CNM, but ALA has records near Goulburn.
