User's notes

Fox scats mainly of rose hips; I found about 60 scats in the vicinity in an area of 200square meters. Volunteers removed (fruiting) wild roses in the area over the past decade, however, as long large fruiting wild roses grow on Federal Highway road verge, see for instance https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4640632 - and given the very large fox population that occurs on Mt Majura, the control of wild roses is not sustainable; foxes are the main distributors of roses.
