Yes Jellis is probably right with latifolium. Looks like the ones I see around Sydney which are either latifolium or grandifolium species.
Yeh the soils are normally sandy because of the proximity to the estuary.
Thanks guys! I think Gompholobium latifolium is the right ID :D
Could be either the one I suggested or Gompholobium latifolium
Don't think it's the Gompholobium virgatum species because of the leaf shape looks too short.
http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:b... - potentially Gompholobium virgatum - how close were you to the sea? Myall lakes is usually really sandy coastal soil yes?
Need confirmation but it might be this one
Gompholobium huegelii (Common Wedge-pea)
from this family Gompholobium
But haven't found the species
