Significant sighting

Apparently recorded in the ACT only recently, this is a new infestation.

User's notes

Thought this might be one of those really weedy plants that we are meant to look out for but it is in a difficult location.

Higgins Landcare could drop an information flyer to residents in the street if the ACT government is not in a position to engage the householder?
