This weed is one I don't think there are many records of naturalised, especially way down in Namadgi. Luckily the invasiveness potential doesn't seem to be too high. Might be interesting to you @MichaelMulvaney ?

Thanks Luke - a dirty car or hikers boots? It is amazing how seeds get around

Have seen a fair bit of it around Khancoban previously, but a much lower altitude than this sighting
