thanks Avery.
somehow google places records of Mt Majura on the wrong location "Downer" and therefore they don't land on my Majura administrator desk

I is very annoying as I miss a lot, particularly new records of species for Mt Majura and important invasions - I know of this one on the saddle and it is scary.

I can only suggest to send me the link if you notice the wrong location in the headline...
thanks w

There is quite a bit of it scattered across the entire west-facing slope of the 'ainslie-majura connecting ridge' as I like to call it. This is the biggest infestation. Hopefully lockdown will end before it starts seeding, and I can at least stop that and control the westward spread at least.
