User's notes
around 300 mostly in the up to 30cm category (second and third photos), some in the 1m, a couple in the 1m+ category such as the one shown in the first photo; cut and painted, some of the very small wattles manually removed, mapped with Field Maps / Treated / Woody Weeds.
Some very large A. floribunda frilled in 2023, Parks staff chainsawed a couple in 2024 which I couldn't frill because of the crooked growing trunks (size isn't a problem, it is the access to swing an axe to frill around the trunk); these were either mapped as "Woody Weeds" or as "Cootamundra wattle" because "White Sally" is not included in the Field Maps drop down list of weeds.
