Acacia aneurais naturally found throughout Australia covering an area of 1.5 million square kilometres from Shark Bay in Western Australia to Queensland and on the western plains of New South Wales growing on inland ridges in thickets or scrub from sea level to an altitude of 300 m (984 ft). It is commonly seen in the semi-arid regions and experiences hot summers and cool winters with an average annual rainfall of 300 to 500 mm.

It prefers a well drained light sandy to stony-clay soil that is poor to moderately fertile, tending acidic to neutral iin an open to exposed sunny position and is very drought and light frost tolerant.

Mulga is grown for its drought hardiness, flowers and its bushy habit. It is planted in small or arid gardens along borders as a specimen for attracting birds or as a low screen. It is also used in farms along shelter belts or for fodder.

It is suitable for coastal and dry inland regions and establishes in 3-4 years and has long lived. It is also an ideal plant for an exposed position and is used as windbreak. This very variable shrub to small tree produces very dark hard durable timber that was used by the Aborigines to make spears and shields and is still being used to produce souvenirs. ID 2100
