Abstract

Persistence and dedication over the long term has been a key to success in control of this Weed of National Significance on World Heritage Listed K'gari-Fraser Island in Queensland, Australia. Systematic surveys and treatment show that the goal of Bitou Bush eradication is worthwhile and can inspire other such projects within the region and beyond.
