yeah Acacia longifolia (sydney golden wattle) by the looks of it. if it was found very close to the coast it could be Acacia sophorae (they are a very closely related species, the latter occurring near the coast on & near sand dunes etc. A. sophorae generally has a lower growing habit & shorter, wider, thicker phyllodes. to save confusion though i would say that it is indeed A. longifolia as you initially thought <___base_url___>/uploads/emoticons/default_smile.png

at first it looked as though the seed pods were highly twisted, which would not be consistent with longifolia, but then i realized that they only look twisted because they have cracked open, ejected their seeds & peeled back, making them look highly twisted.
