It is certainly not a native of Australia.
I think you are right though.

Could be an Acacia
Of that I am not positive though. As there are a lot of plants with that leaf structure.

that maple could be a trident.. there is so many variations of the trident it is unbeleivable. in the genetics of tridents can change so much you get 1000's of variations a differentials of leaf shape and colour, bark colour and appearance, rougher or smoother etc. etc.
the other one i have no idea, sorry

oooh trident.. i love tridents
does all Acer species require similar care in general or does each acer plant require different levels of care?

mainly, but tridents are probably a little stronger

The first tree is Acer Negundo - Common name is Box Elder and the second one I think is a Gleditsia triacanthus or Honeylocust.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
