I have to confess that I now harbour murderous thoughts towards any garden cacti that resemble Opuntia robusta or Wheel Cacti. I swear these cacti are plotting world domination with their hellish ability to recreate.
This ANZAC Day weekend, our annual Parnaroo Cactus Cull delivered everything we love: bush camping, hiking in the scrub, campfires, and the deeply satisfying feel of injecting poison into cacti. With beautiful new injector packs that made injecting a joy (we looked like environmental Ghost Busters), over 4,500 cacti were dispatched, and 100 litres of glyphosate was put into noble use.
