birding-aus Dead Finish?

["Martin O'Brien"<>]

John Leonard asks about Dead Finish or Prickly Wattle.

Two botanical texts here give this as a species of Acacia, specifically A.
tetragonophylla.

The plant is a tangled, spreading, prickly shrub to a small, twisted, rough
barked tree.  It is hardy and frequent in arid inland on sandy soils and
rocky or gravelly ridges carrying mainly mulga scrub or pine-belah
woodlands.

Is this habitat of Cinnamon Quail Thrush?
