A sweet plant
It is one of the first wattles to flower in autumn, and continues to flower through the winter - the shrub called Sweet-scented Wattle Acacia suaveolens. It grows in the sandy soils on the coast.
It lives up to its name too Boobook, very pleasant sweet perfume. There used to be a nice variegated variety in cultivation, haven't seen it for years now though.
