All removed. No more within about 100 m. I made this post because Cobblers Peg became obvious in the Mt Painter reserve less than ten years ago and it is now so wide spread that it is out of control. We, at Friends of Mt Painter, are keeping it out of our Wildflower triangle adjacent to Bindubi St. South of the Cook Community garden it is rampart in the southern horse paddocks, just a kangaroo hop from Aranda Bushland. Vigilance is required to stop it flourishing in the Aranda Bushland grass lands.
