Another weed import from NSW 'soil' after laying of pipe or cable in median strip. There has been an attempt at reseeding but the weeds have taken over. @ACTBioSecurity are there any rules against importing weeds?

I mean this did used to be a monoculture of african love grass before the works so thornapple is almost an improvement.

I pulled out several but I think there were more to the north. I am more worried about the caltrop which will be a menace if it spreads across to Eddison Park.
