Weeds of South East QLD and Northern NSW

Weeds of South-East Queensland and Northern NSW is an identification and information tool covering suburban, rural, environmental and agricultural weeds. It is an invaluable resource used by gardeners, Landcare and Bushcare volunteers, weed control officers, ecologists, agronomists, researchers, students, and others interested in learning more about the weeds found in South-East Queensland and Northern New South Wales.
