I agree, Tom, they are good shots. They show very clearly what the
dreaded kudzu looks like and how it takes over. I remember a very
photogenic strip of rain forest in Narrabeen, one of Sydney's Northern
Beach suburbs, on either side of the Wakehurst Parkway. It was covered
in an ivy-like parasitic creeper that looked very similar to the kudzu
in Mike's pics. Does anyone know if the'yre the same or related? I
could well believe it because certain shrubs that grow at a manageable
rate in cooler countries tend to go out of control in Australia. A good
example is privet, used for hedges in the UK but considered a noxious
weed in Oz.
