excellent ! argybee. @lori.tas - we've got one in the backyard and do you think I could remember the name ! - I knew it was weeping something....
lori.tas
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
lori.tas
I have on in my front yard, but I've forgotten what it's called. I'll post flower pics shortly.
Ava T-B
I think this is some species of Eucalyptus.
Ashish
Yes...recently I gone through many Australian trees have such kind of leafs.
CataAna
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.

Tell me I am right or wrong with flowers http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acacia_auriculiformis
