I was on a bush walk today and i was wondering if this is an acacia ? If someone could tell me what it is or is not that would be excellent.

Hello there, I can't specify exactly but might be dealbata. To save you some trouble SWIM has attempted two teks with a tree of similar attributes to your using bark, phyllodes and flowers with no result of alkaloids. Samples of bark were taken during late March, with regular rainfall and temperatures around 8 degrees and phyllodes and flowers harvested early July during a dry patch in the weather, temps averaging 12-16 degrees.

Maybe Acacia pubescens? If you can get a clear measurement of the length/width of leaves and the length of the pinnae and rachis, then we can narrow it down further. Also what state? --Shadow attached the following image(s):  length.jpg (114kb) downloaded 41 time(s).Throughout recorded time and long before, trees have stood as sentinels, wise yet silent, patiently accumulating their rings while the storms of history have raged around them --The living wisdom of trees, Fred Hageneder
