User's notes

In grassy woodland open forest integrate; it doesn't look like the straight A. decurrens that I know and I have not spotted A. decurrens in this area as yet. There are A. mearnsii and perhaps also A. parramattensis.

I agree with Waltraud, it does not look like A. decurrens, which according to World Wide Wattle has no interjugary glands, which this one clearly has. And the stem winged ribs are not as pronounced as in A. decurrens.
The number and arrangement of the pinnae and pinnules looks like decurrens, especially the well separated pinnules which are however not as far separated as in some photos for A. decurrens - see VicFlora. Also the colour looks wrong - bluish rather than green.
Perhaps this is a hybrid with another local species with interjugary glands, like A. parramattensis or A. mearnsii or ???
