I've reported this and the other Bidens pilosa findings from my walk on 31 March to give a picture of how widespread this weed has become. It has moved about 500m into the Rob Roy Reserve and is scattered all across this particular hill/ridge.

Likewise, from the huge infestation near the summit, it has now spread throughout the Mt Painter reserve.

I am no expert on weeds, but I've not seen any weed multiply and spread as quickly as this one.
