Perhaps A. vestita or A. pravissima ? I had both of them on Mt Ainslie.

Looks like Acacia vestita, which has softly hairy phyllodes.

Thanks for suggestions; I'll take a close up of phyllode at next opportunity.

The glaucousness of the phyllodes looks a bit dull and this may because of "hairiness". Also the degree of the weeping habit is reminiscent of A. vestita

The weeping nature and dull "greyness" illustrated in the photographs attached for this sighting made me suspect A. vestita. An on-site check today confirmed it as A. vestita
