This seemed to have more rounded ridges than some plants nearby, and the pinnules were closer together.

Acacia decurrens, according to Plantnet, has winged stems, glands only near the bases of the pinnae, and branchlets and leaf rachises that are hairless or appressed hairy. It cannot be Acacia mearnsii, which has obviously hairy branchlets and leaf rachises. I do not think it is Acacia paramattensis, which has a definite join between the leaves and the branchlets, low ridges on the stems, and small glands between the bases of the pinnae, as well as near the bases of the pinnae. In my experience, it flowers around Christmas and I would not expect the flowers to be as advanced as this.
