User's notes
Foliage mostly bipinnate, some phyllodes, no intermediate juvenile foliage; stem redish with ridges.
I took a series of photos of wattles at a relative small area which I will present on CNM - none fits a wattle or hybrid that I know. There are specimens over one m tall with all leaves bipinnate and there are specimens which have mainly bipinnate leaves plus a few phyllodes; none of the observed wattles have the juvenile foliage I know of, for instance, Acacia rubida with bipinnate leave (bits) persisting with phyllodes.
In the vicinity we have / had bipinnate Wattles: Acacia baileyana, dealbata, their hybrids, and decurrens; and wattles with phyllodes: A. floribunda, implexa, longifolia, melanoxylon, rubida (a group of the latter was most likely planted).
I will copy this comment in the other wattle records of the site.

The phyllode looks right for A. rubida and there are some intermediate types with phyllode like bases to binnate leaves.

I can't see the intermediates, only bipinnate leaves (majority) and a couple of phyllodes at top left hand.
