Hard to imagine one of (I think) the most beautiful plants in this country being a pest in another, Wattle. I must admit that I have never thought about our plants and animals becoming a problem for other countries, only ever seem to have thought about theirs being a pain to us. Tempers my frustration.

It's like possums in NZ.Introduced from here, and not well liked. I would like to swap all the rabbits, with the wattle. And we won't talk about cane toads, although that was our fault.
