I have no idea what this nasty looking thing is! It was starting to spread around and there were miniature versions spawning up around it.

Yes, this is Mahonia aquifolium, Oregon grape or Holly one of the many garden escapes and a really nasty one as it spreads by seeds and suckers. I spent many hours cutting and dabbing hundreds of stems in large patches behind Mackenzie Street and else where in the nature reserve.

Thanks Waltraud, great to know. Well we have it mapped now so any time we have some spare round up or something, do we need to go nuke it?

Thanks Michael, I need to change the name on our species list. This particular specimen doesn't exist anymore :)

Wow that was quick Waltraud, awesome! I saw your car driving past this afternoon and wondered what you were up to, but now this explains it... Champion effort.
