A major one is moth vine, Araujia sericifera. It has a pretty white flower, but the vine grows rapidly, smothering native plants and seeding prolifically. The seed pods in the photo were collected from just one … Read more »
The 80th Rolex Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race for 2025 started as usual on Boxing Day, with a spectacular run to the heads by a fleet of 128. Given the forecast of strong southerlies for at least the following two days, it was never going to be an easy voyage for sailing vessels having to tack upwind into increasingly heavy seas. Soon, winds topping forty knots sent large waves crashing into boats, causing … Read more »
