Cape Broom is one that we should try and remove before it becomes too widespread. I have seen whole hillslopes of this plant on the outskirts of both Adelaide and Melbourne

Thanks Michael, next time I'm over there I'll take them out. At the moment it looks like the kangaroos or rabbits keep them pretty much in check but you don't want to rely on that in the long term.
