Another team walked the coast from Bicheno to the southern end of Friendly Beaches, removing sea spurge and its cousin, caper spurge. After that, they badly needed a drink, so we all went to the pub for a meal. Thistles and psoralea were removed from several areas, including around the Saffire sewerage pond.
