Hi Michael looks like fruiting (female) Asparagus, an introduced species. Dispersed by birds who eat the berries. Waltraud

Thanks Waltraud. Do you know which species? There are several which have been introduced to Australia.

I think it is Asparagus officinalis - the same species we find in the Mts Ainslie Majura reserves; see info at http://majura.org/2013/02/04/woody-weeds-working-party-21042013/
