@Ange not sure whether this is in an area you look after or not but if this is only a small infection worth getting on top of now - or getting your neighbouring land managers to do so.

Hi Michael,
Probably already too late. There is already a big infestation of these out at the end of the track at Shepherds Lookout. I also don't think there is a land care group for this area. See Bidens sp. (Cobbler's Pegs, Farmer's Friend)

Thanks Alison - that is a shame

Thanks for the heads up Michael. It's managed by ACT Parks but immediately adjoins our patch. Will have a look, but yes as Alison mentioned this species is rampant in lookout area, the river edge below the lookout and along the Bidgee in these parts. It's a real pain. We try and keep it out of the good areas.

Thanks Ange
