Don't think I've ever seen sunflowers growing wild before. There is also a pumpkin I think running up into the trees on the right. Flooding creeks bring down all kinds of things from upstream.

Sunflowers have a widespread naturalised distribution across Australia - probably because of their widespread planting. They are yet to become a major weed but do have a moderate to high risk score under the Australian Weed Risk Assessment methodology
