It is a native - Acacia paradoxa - also known as Kangaroo Thorn or Hedge Wattle - but generally referred to using various cuss words. It is covered in sharp thorns about a centimtre long. I had a horrible time untangling rope from one on Jawbones once and had to 'grasp the nettle' as it were. I was picking thorns out of my hands a week later. Chewing through the rope and finishing the climb solo was probably a better option.
