I spent a couple of hours spraying them on Isaacs Ridge today https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4723274, but I have to repeat the exercise in a couple of weeks when the next lot grow above the Paterson's curse.

They like the recent rain. With a bit of luck we will get a good frost before the mature seeds are produced.
