There are several thistles that look like this head on. Do you have a sideways on photo of the flower head, of leaves, or of a whole plant?

If not, can you remember if the leaves were blue-grey without blotching and whether the stem was winged?

Sorry, I wasn't actually photographing this for record at the time. I'm still not good at photographing plants for identification as this is usually not my purpose at the time. Will need to consider this more in future.

That is variegated thistle, Silybum marianum. I got to be a dab hand at the thistles when preparing a weeds guide for Cooma-Monaro council.
