What kind of tree?

I saw at "Mount Coot-tha botanical garden" a splendid tree,flowering now (large head of yellow flower like pompom),branches in zig zag,with two spines at each angle,leaves bipinnates,like a leguminosae,and at the base was written"Phyllanthus sellowiana"....
Investigations done,in fact it is not a Phyllanthus Sellowiana!
I would be grateful,if someone one could help me to indentify this tree!
P.S The same question as been posted to Mont coot-tha botanical garden,without response...
Many thanks in advance

| Sounds a bit like the Zig Zag Wattle, Acacia macradenia. |

Hi "Goldhills",in the beginning i was thinking like you,but as far as i know,Acacia macradenia has phyllodes,and not two thorns,at each node!!
Two years ago i was at "Gimpie" sleeping there,eating(badly)there,and visiting the market near the rails!
Cheers
