Every hero has a villain, and for many in the outback it is a thorny shrub called prickly acacia.
"Just to tap away at the flowers on the prickle trees."
If camels are the superheroes of the prickly acacia fight, DCQ senior field officer Natalie Pearce is the one sending out the bat signals."Because they eat about 360 flowers per day, that's about 3,600 potential seeds that are not going back into the landscape," she said. A report commissioned by DCQ showed the cost of controlling it jumped from $185 million in 1996 to $240 million in 2021.Despite the spend, the weed now covers almost half of the Queensland side of the Lake Eyre Basin.
