Comment: Acacia pickardii - Mount Gason Wattle

Good read Stephen. With the predominant scrub out there being so often acacia I find it hard it identify the differences between the varieties given that they may be of such a subtle nature at times. I'm slowly getting a handle on the more common varieties but all to often just lump them all in under a generic "Mulga" or "Acacia" - eg "Bloody acacia was so thick it ripped the scratchpro off...etc". I also laughed when reading about the "Dead Finish" Acacia of the Simpson, so called because it's usually the last thing living after a bad drought.

Cheers Mick
