Yep, that's it argy, knew I'd recognize the name if I saw it. I have a few more photos I'll add to my spotting.

@ ashishnimkar the acacias have seeds in long pods like peas
@ ava t-b eucalypts have 'pods' usually in clusters and each on their own little stems

Not sure Ashish, this tree was not in flower. However I did see trees with these type of yellow flowers around. It could be it, the leaves are similar.
