Acacia bivenosa naturally grows in coastal dunes, sandy plains, rocky hillsides, and along watercourses. It is widespread across northern Australia, including Western Australia’s Pilbara and Kimberley regions, parts of the Northern Territory, and northern Queensland, often in arid to semi-arid environments with well-drained, sandy or gravelly soils. It is particularly adapted to hot, dry, and saline conditions.
