Is that an Aussie expression?- In New Mexico it takes over where native grasses should grow. Once there were huge plains of grass here. The Army cut it down around 1860-s - around the time of the US Civil War bailed it for their horses at a fort in Kansas. It came from the plains of Russia. ---- I think I have your blog because of David Bridie - which I use to as a mood alter as needed.
Not so much an Aussie expression as something from those old westerns, where tumbleweeds blow through abandoned towns? And I hadn't realised its origins - sounds like some of Australia's 'helpful' imports. Like rabbits. ;P
