Acacia ID

Question

Hi all, ive found this Acacia thats close by. Kingston area in Tasmania.

Its growing in rocky soil shaded by an Eucalypt, so in partial sun.

Its not in full flower yet so I couldnt take any photos of the flowers but could get some of the preflowers. 

Theres a few brown roundish 'knobs' growing from some of the branches.

The bark is fairly thin.

Ive attached some photos, hope this is enough :)

Thanks all help is appreciated.

Maybe Acacia longifolia subsp. sophorae. Have a close look at the minor veins on the phyllodes (not the 2 or 3 prominent veins). If it is Acacia longifolia they should be be commonly anastomosing (i.e.joined by cross veins) as opposed to just running parallel without many connections. If anastomosis is rare it is something else, probably introduced. The pods in the litter beneath the tree should be 5-15 cm and slightly curved or coiled, with the seeds lined up longitudinally in th pods, i.e. not diagonally.
