If you can get to https://actgov.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=dd0ce9431feb42f6bc06586d7544069a you will see how much serrated tussock has been sprayed in Mt Majura recently (you might need a login). I hope you can get Field Maps working for you soon.

Mike I went there today but only very late and found that quite amounts of Corkscrew speargrass have been sprayed - they are dead; see for instance https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4443750.
I'm devastated!
We direct seeded Speargrass in this area after significant weeding work about 15 years ago; it was a lot of work to collect the seeds. Weeding included a lot of ST treatment in the area and the direct seeding Corkscrew Speargrass was part to manage the weeds ie providing a ground cover. We did that all on our own without help from Government agencies.
The ST is / was only scattered but the speargrass was forming swathes - dead now. Who will fix that and how?
