The most usual one is Acacia dealbata but that flowers early. You'd need
to
describe the leaves but it could be A.retinoides. A. verticillata is
possible but that's more tender and we keep ours in a cool greenhouse.
It's
also extremely unfriendly and very prickly but as it's more of a spring
flowering plant, it's unlikely to be that one.
One thing to be aware of is that some people called Albizia julibrissin
'mimosa' but that's more in USA than here, I think. It has pink flowers
in
a sort of fluffy fan shape.

I've noticed the few Acacia dealbata around here are showing signs of colour
so they should be fully in flower soon. I'll see if I can get a good shot of
the large one up on St.Anns Hill and post it somewhere.
