Paterson's Curse in full bloom on the top of Isaacs Ridge. It also is showing up down the sides of Isaacs Ridge as well.

Too late to do anything about it this year. Once it disappears the yellow flowers of St John's wort will take over. Let's hope the ACT budget gets a boost for weed control next year.
