Wattle

Description:

This is only a tentative ID. "The shrub is open and spindly and typically grows to a height of 1 to 5 metres (3 to 16 ft). It blooms from July to October producing yellow flowers." (Wiki) This one was in the midst of several (see pic 5) along a walking trail below a rocky cliff.

Habitat:

Along a walking trail amongst the grass and spinifex below a rocky cliff at Mornington Wildlife Sanctuary.

Notes:

The ID I have been given is only a tentative ID. I had sent these pics to the Department of Parks and Wildlife (DEPaW) and the ID botanists sent this response: "Because of the sheer number of species (in almost any given area), together with the sorts of characters that distinguish them, Acacia species are frequently difficult to identify from images. In this case there are a number of related species in that part of the Kimberley with a similar general morphology to the plant in the images. A tentative identification of Acacia elachantha (https://florabase.dpaw.wa.gov.au/browse/...) has been provided."
