A photo of the whole shrub would have been helpful. It is not absolutely clear from these photos, or the height measure, whether the plant is upright ( subsp. longifolia) or prostrate ( subsp. sophorae).

Apologies, I do have a distant photo of the upright plant (right of centre) but I didn't post it at first because the photo was of the lake and the added photo is a digital 2x zoom. I found postrate acacia in the beach sand dunes but nothin in bloom as yet.

Yep, subsp longifolia is the one flowering at the moment. Subsp sophorae is not invariably prostrate. Plants growing back from the beach can be erect and get almost as tall as subsp. longifolia, but the phyllodes are shorter and more rounded at the tip. They probably intergrade a bit too. I've seen plenty of intermediate looking ones.
