That looks an awful lot like Rubus probus, Atherton Raspeberry.

It has found its way all over the south east with the help of gardeners.

Looks a lot like the rose leaf rasberry, Rubus rosafolia?

Correction, R. rosafolius :)

I envy you guys for all the rainfall, you must be getting.

it hasn't rained at my place for months, and the raspberries (including native ones) hate that, I struggle even keeping them just alive...

bummer, as it's one of my most favourite fruits.

I think yours get a bit less exposure as well, whilst my garden has dappled shade, it's too far from the water source, so I have my raspberries now under shade cloth and hope for the best.

with "exposure" I mean no companion plants and no shade...

your garden has already the "genie" residing, and this makes a big difference.

getting pioneer plants up is hard during a drought...

definitely rosifolius. i've always known it as thinmbleberry. the smell when you rub the leaves is one of those strong associative smells from my childhood. takes me right back! it also hasn't rained for months here but they're still fruiting. definitely not as good as they could though, but this year the wild bushes are doing really well vegetatively, just needed a bit more rain to get em to fruit more

edit miss spelt word

MMmm gotta love raspberries - I agree that it is Rubus rosifolius - an abundant and vigorous native pioneer...

About 30 years ago a vet surgeon found that a horse trainer was curing skin cancers on horses by cutting the fruits of one of the three Rubus species found in SE Qld in half and taping them to the cancer. He had a cream made up from them and and it worked well. A drug company got nasty about it and I never heard anymore. I just did a quick Google search without luck. I also recall a news story about a Gold Coast man who invented a revolutionary boat propeller and received death threats. It's a sick world. I don't have horses but I might check with a vet about the cream next time I go to Rockhampton.

Kent.

Here's the suspect 'rubus probus' on our property.

The fruit differs slightly to yours.
