The Rubbervine threat
Rubbervine (Cryptostegia grandilflora) is a weed of national significance and regarded as one of the worst weeds in Austalia. It has devastated vast areas of north Queensland and threatens much of the Kimberly region of Western Australia.
Rubbervine smothers riparian vegetation and forms dense impenetrable thickets. This decreases biodiversity and prevents access to both stock and native animals
Rubbervine is known to be present at three locations in the Kimberly : the Bow and Ord river close to lake Argyle; Limestone Creek on Lissadel Station south of Kununurra and on the Fitzroy River at Willare.
