I scoured back and forth but couldn't find any friends for this yellow daisy. I'm pretty sure it is Senecio linearifolius.
I found one similar plant but couldn't confirm it.

A place for Kaurna people to gather and share culture and stories in Adelaide is a dream come true for elders like 95-year-old Lewis O'Brien.
"It started really probably 30 years ago when the old people got together and they said we should have a centre," Uncle Lewis explained.

Australia needs its own “moonshot” to galvanise the country’s best minds behind stopping the spread of feral species, a parliamentary roundtable has heard.
Invasives cost the nation around $24.5 billion a year, and efforts to contain them are failing.

The Australian Bogong moth may be 1st invertebrate known to be able to use stars to navigate, says OA paper. Experiments indicate the insects use stellar cues, in addition to magnetic sense, to help them fly in the right direction: spklr.io/63328BHGga

Global warming impacts the biosphere simultaneously in many different ways. Some impacts, like extreme heat and drought, are obvious and direct. Others, like massive algal blooms that have been hitting Australia, remain largely unseen but wreak just as much havoc on our life support systems. 🌍

It gets worse when you realize that the green places are largely deserts and tundras that cannot be farmed.
Two of the few practical answers to the biodiversity crisis are renewable food – which would see half the Earth returned to nature, and a Stewards of the Earth program in which indigenous people and ex-farmers are funded (from defence budgets) to restore natural ecosyst ...

Support conservation on Heard Island which has been the victim of a U.S. tariff. Why a victim? The only inhabitants are penguins. However, this is a real conservation effort for the penguins and the surrounding area. If you can afford to please help.
Trump just tariffed an island of penguins. Here's how you can buy a pebble and support their 'exports'
The tongue-in-cheek social media campaign is finding a creative way to donate to penguin conservation through the World Wildlife Fund.
