Acacia ID (suspected Longifolia or Floribunda)

Found growing about a 20 minute walk from my house.
Sorry about the picture quality I couldn't keep the plant still.
I will repost pics in a month or so if pictures of flowers are needed, but my guess says that this plant would be a Floribunda because of its shorter and thinner leaves

I just realised how stupid I am......
Picture 2 is of a different tree. which had longer and wider leaves.
Has anyone had luck extracting from a Longifolia? have heard it can have varying results depending on the age of tree and time of year.
And has anyone had any luck with a Floribunda? I read somewhere that it can contain up to 2% alkaloids in its phyllodes, but I have never tried personally, and don't have equipment as to tell if it is active.

I'm definitely thinking Acacia with the parallel venation on the leaves.
You say pic 2 is different??? Did you edit it out cause they all look like the same tree to me.
The inflorescence and leaves look consistent in every pic.

I was just pretty sure that the second picture was different (I left it in there in-case it was the same tree)
I only thought it was a different tree because the leaves were wider and longer, and the photo was taken from a different tree than the 1,3,4 and 5th photo.
I am almost positive they are Acacia's I was just trying to work out whether they are Longifolia or Floribunda.
Although I am starting to think that they are Floribunda. I will have to edit this post once they come into bloom, that should help. otherwise I will just take a few small leaves an some stem into the local Botanical Gardens.

There you go. Ask some botanists! I wanted to find a key for you, but the best one costs $120 (but it's epic). I'll look around a bit and see if I can find something comparable.
