Valour Park Entrance from Tay Street. A mixture of 10+ Serious Invasive Weed species, growing in this planted 'amenity' garden in Honour of our dedicated RSA Australians ! This planted garden is Totally Neglected ! Weed species include: Datura sp (Very Poisonous and attractive to Children which frequent this park), thistle sp, Paterson's Curse, Black Nightshade, Invasive grasses, Sonchus sp, Mustard Weed, Fleabane, Briar Rose, etc. LOOK at the Clear Fence Line demarcation, with The Fair CNP on one side (with mostly Native Grasses / Plants) and Valour Park on the other side of the Fence FULL OF WEEDS. A few planted Native Dianella sp, struggling to survive amongst All the Invasive Weeds. Why does the ACT Government Directorate responsible for the Maintenance of Public Planted Gardens allow such NEGLECT in plain sight, Time and again ? Just NOT good enough !!!
