User's notes

During Friends of Grasslands field trip. No GPS device to hand. Location guesstimated based on contextual landscape pics. $2 coin (20mm diameter) provided for scale. LUCID factsheet (https://apps.lucidcentral.org/plants_se_nsw/text/entities/cuscuta_tasmanica.htm) describes as "Parasitic on plants such as Wilsonia and Chenopodium, usually in saline areas. Coastal. Lake Bathurst south of Goulburn. Rarely elsewhere." as is the case here i.e. on Wilsonia rotundifolia.
