Weeds and Travellers

Weeds are everywhere. From the city to the bush, desert to rainforest, coast to outback, wherever you go you won’t be far from a weed. Each year weeds cost the country several billion dollars.

John & Val,

Good read, and helps make us all aware of what's out there.

"Weeds and Problem Plants of the Channel Country" is a glove box sized guide that is useful for travellers, bushies and other interested folk. Compiled by Rhondda Alexander, it was originally funded by Channel Landcare Group and Georgina-Diamantina Catchment Committee. Linda & I still have a few copies left which are FREE, while Desert Channels Queensland, in Longreach Qld, has the new edition which is $5.00, or $8.00 posted.

Not trying to push it, but would be a worthwhile asset to have while travelling.

Thanks,
Bob

Thanks Bob, your Landcare publication sounds like a very useful one for anyone travelling in the area. Members could send you a MM perhaps or maybe you could post contact details for Desert Channels. I do hope landcare can survive the current budget costs - I was involved with landcare and catchmment management for many years and at a number of levels - so much inspirational work was done, you had to wonder why any government would suddenly want to throw spanners into the works - it happened so often, although the latest budget cuts seem pretty dire.
Cheers,
Val.
