Thanks for this photo - Prickly Pear has established in Molonglo Gorge and has been recorded elsewhere in the Canberra Region but most of the escapees do not seem to persist over time. However, it is one that we should be keeping an eye out for and will ensure that the guys doing the weed control on Urambi Hills are aware of it, so that it can be controlled. Thanks Again for this record - a first for Canberra Nature Map
