meh, indeed! totally malignant bushes, surround a host's root system, kill it, feed within its micro shelter, and annihilate any and all biodiversity..

Basesix. Hi mate. In the big apple, how’s the weather there ?

Yes, it’s a real widespread pest on the Mornington Peninsula, not so much on the Surf Coast, some isolated areas have a fair bit, then you see a few here and there, I pull them out immediately .
If everyone pulled them out when they see them, we could possibly halt the spread.
Boneseed, I do the same. AW

I used to rip things out, from the empty blocks, that I'd heard were bad, between bike rides and cubby building and stuff. If kids still did outdoors, totally, arm them with the ripping out thing, my kids are outdoor-ish, did my best, but they didn't really get vibed on pulling polygala on the weekend. the youth today. hahahahha. ah well, I'm just gonna give up and let ferknards, polygala, meglamonolons, and smurfs gently take over. and sit and smile at how we are all casually spinnin silently in a void. I think we all do our best.. ferknards included. (meglamonolons are easier to take if you just go limp).

^ obviously metaphorical homo inventions, AW, people are strange, varied, and to be tolerated in their weirdness.. no particular threads or characters in mind.. wonderful stuff on the photos thread @Craig!  I felt every moment of those clips, thankfully could see them on SN without insta, brilliant mate, what a joy..

unreal here @blackers, same temperature as brissy and the goldy, but minus the cloud cover. happy spring, SN. leave the grumps behind. get wet, go for a walk, drive, stick some tunes on, bloody good this not-being-dead lark.

@Basesix
Hi there
But how’s the ocean temperature there,
I think I noticed it dropped off South of Kangaroo Island or somewhere?

Adelaide's always ok @J-L, like scotland and north UK, has warm water streams, but where I normally am, where @blackers has just been, is bone-numbing.. some of those maps @Craig has posted about the ocean heatwave (all reds and yellows) around my 'home base' has been blue as blue can be! I went to a Tim Flannery thing at Womad a few years ago, where Tim said those cold water canyons off KI, could be used to cultivate vast kelp forests to suck CO2 out of the atomosphere.. have always wanted to ask someone like @AW what they think of that.. as soon as we do a thing, my assumption is we'll fk something else?

Yes I lived on Yorkes for a while and Port Lincoln, ocean temp didn’t seem too bad from memory , maybe the water getting heated up in the Gulfs .
Definitely felt a drop on the Robe coast.
On the positive side, it probably reduces the crowds , and 4/5 ml steamer wetsuits keep you a lot fitter than, us lazy northerners.
