Life and death in the bushland

We came across a jewel spider (Austracantha minax) and a fly locked in mortal struggle during our search for Geraldton Carnation weed. Also removed some Fountain Grass and Flinders Ranges Wattle.
Later on we moved into the Watsonia patch - which still has remnants of Watsonia - need to keep a watch on it. Came across a Persoonia saccata in flower.

Hopping around

We continued with our Geraldton Carnation Weed crusade ... will it ever end?
Came across this grass hopper (or whatever!) - very pretty.

Still with the GCWs - a never-ending story!

Whilst on our 'search and destroy GCW's' mission we came across this patch of agave in flower ...
Took out some long-tubed painted ladies growing in and around the Agave, then continued on with our GCW hunt. It is depressing finding so much more of the stuff.
