Try https://keyserver.lucidcentral.org/key-server/data/070a0908-0e03-4f01-8c0d-060b0f000902/media/Html/topkey_home.htm for blackberry identification. Effectiveness of biological and chemical control varies among the different species. Rubus anglocandicans is the most common in the ACT. @Steve818 is the go-to guy for identification and treatment.
