Botany Acacia and Mimosa Identification Thread

Growing logs with advice and results.
Migrated topic.
Hey guys tried to post on here last night but accidentally hit new topic instead of reply :? Anyways. This is growing out the front of my house and was wondering what it is?! I'm located in south east Australia and its presently winter here. I know it's not flowering just yet but will be quite soon if need be I can take more pictures then. Thank you very much in advance.

And also know of a lot of these. And am unaware of what they might be. They look interesting, a lot of them have a reddish tinge on the trunks, especially on a fallen one. Also located in south east Australia. Any info would be much appreciated..

Come on man you've been around long enough to ID it yourself 😋, where do you find it, coastal or inland as it looks like
A.sophorae to me, or a.magnium.
 
Good evening everyone, it's been quite a while since I've been on the forums, my busy lifestyle has kept me away from doing my exploration and plant ID. I only happened to come across these by chance and got rather curious, being the middle of winter and most acacia are in full bloom, please help me confirm my suspicions, if not enough evidence I can take more photos.

It's either longifolia or sophorae, I thought it may have been obtus. But after looking at some reference pics in Google it doesn't have the long long phylodes even though it appears to have some jagged edges and the tubular flowers look too closely packed to be obtus. What do u think?

i'm not so sure I agree that astro's tree is obtuse.. looks more like a form of longifolia that may share genetic traits with obtuse (or maybe the blunt phyllodes were just occasional on the specimen?)... the nerve anastomy doesn't quite look like that of obtuse whilst the flowers seem too deep of a yellow. obtuse won't be in flower till the summer either so if the pic is recent then its longifolia

On second look the last photo of a single phyllode does have straight looking margins like longi..
 
Thanks for clearing that up, yes, photos were taken only a couple of weeks ago (mid winter) I dont know why I thought that Obtusifolia flowered in winter, perhaps I got confused with other varieties. oh well!
