Blue Periwinkle, Invasive Weed, spreading from Watson BP Service station " Managed" / Neglected ! "ornamental" Garden, into the Park / Reserve area of "The Fair" Housing Estate Watson. Large Infestation of 100 Square metres +, this weed is VERY DIFFICULT to control. Very surprising to see this from a supposedly "Environmentally Responsible " Large Multinational Company (BP). Someone needs to have an Educational chat with BP Australia Executives.

The location has been suppressed, so only plant moderators and Admin will be able to see the location. You can do this when you upload the sighting, it's also useful when uploading sightings of rare and/or sensitive species. :).

Thanks "Tapirlord", yes I was aware of this option, but wasn't sure it was appropriate in this case. I have also posted this (anon) via ACT "Fix my streets", plus have written to BP ( with pseudonym). Thanks for your suggestions 🙂
