Water lettuce (Pistia stratiotes) is now established in the Dumaresq River, west of Texas, QLD.  A clean-up operation is in progress, a joint operation between Queensland DPI, NSW DPI, Goondiwindi Regional Council and Inverell Shire Council. More details on this work will be added as soon as possible.  In the meantime, here are some images showing what the plant looks like, and how water lettuce can spread to take over large areas of water.

More information can be obtained from Les Tanner at Inverell Shire Council on 02 6728 8284/
