BTW, the area - we call it " the Paddock" - is part of Mt Majura nature reserve.

there might be a mixture of both E botrys and E cicutarium but the very long fruits are of E botrys;
we have all three introduced Erodium at this disturbed and overgrazed area; the third species is E moschatum. A photo of E cicutarim taken earlier in the paddock is at https://majura.org/friends-of-mount-majura-fomm-newsletter-september-2020/
I may go and take photos of all 3 introduced species for comparison - I'm pretty sure that there are still many around after our hand weeding sessions...
