Blackberries also grow like weeds closer to the Pacific coast of the USA, or toward the Columbia River gorge. At least they're delicious and nutritious, though, unlike the horrible spotted knapweed here where I live! Huckleberries are the local favorite, but they grow at higher altitudes in remote mountains. We also see much different wildlife. Pack a pistol when huckleberrying lest you cross a grouchy grizzly bear! I doubt the echidna is quite at that threat level. But you're next to Australia, so I wouldn't be surprised to hear it resembles the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog.

Hello!
Never heard of it. (Probably because there are likely countless numbers of plants in North America I've not seen yet!). Not nutritious then?
Oooooh. These I've heard of. And I'd love to try them. I shall add them to my mental wish list of things I wish to eat in my lifetime ;)
Eeek. They say Australia is scary because of all the animals that can kill you but in reality it's pretty easy to avoid most of them.
Nowhere near. Now those spikes are full of poison but since all these little mammals do when threatened is curl up in a ball until the threat passes you'd literally have to walk over to it and stick your hand on one of the quills. Therefore the only threat is to another animal wanting to eat it and basically zero threat to me the curious photographer. 😅

spotted knapweed is an invasive species from Eurasia. It is mildly toxic, thrives in disturbed soil, and apparently poisons plants that try to grow near it.
Eek!
