Nice one, I wonder if this is one that needs to be controlled, @MichaelMulvaney ? We had some of this in our garden and it was a bit invasive so might be worth getting rid of before it spreads far.

Oooh, fascinating. Not one I knew hence my rather questionable suggestion. Presumably a remanent from the old tracking station so was probably planted originally

This species is being closely monitored in that area now that it has been observed.

Thanks Thommo - Luke with this one there needs to be a balancing of the cultural significance the planting may have as opposed to its weed risk potential. This plant does have a known history of spreading into wet forests in South-eastern Australia, is said to be difficult to control once established and has a high weed risk potential - so good that it is being monitored
