Privet (left) and Japanese Honeysuckle (right) are common garden escapes found in drainage lines and gullies of Mt Majura. They are spread by birds which eat the fruits and drop the seeds in the nature reserve.
Japanese honeysuckle and flowering Privet in a Mackenzie Street garden abutting nature reserve; gardens particularly those abutting nature reserves are a source of continuous supply of environmental weeds.
