A WOEFUL weed is creating havoc for residents in Victoria’s northeast.
Some Wangaratta locals are frustrated after large amounts of tumbleweed rolled into town — blanketing their homes, cars and driveways.
The tumbleweed, known as hairy panic grass, has reportedly inundated an entire Wangaratta street.
Resident Jason Perna told Channel 7 it took hours to clean the grass from his property.
“It is frustrating. You know that you’ve got a good couple hours work ahead of you and that’s always sort of displeasing,” he said.

Neighbour Pam Twitchett said the weeds had covered her outdoor dining setting.
“We’ve got a table and chairs and a daybed and probably a few plants,” she said.

Ms Twitchett said clearing the tumbleweed was tiring.
“It’s physically draining, and mentally more draining,” she said.
Cheryl Lengrand spent a day clearing her yard of the weeds, only for them to return the next day.
“I spent eight hours yesterday cleaning up the tumbleweed and this is what I’ve got today,” she said.
Hairy panic grass is common in the Wangaratta area, but this year’s dry conditions has contributed the problem.
The residents believe an unkept property across the street is to blame for the tumbleweed.
