At its peak, Leanne Gloury’s Laceby home was barely accessible.

The grass had blown in and become stacked high above her head, blanketing her property in a sea of light brown.

The Wangaratta-Kilfeera Road resident’s driveway was covered before the weeds shifted to her backyard.

She was forced at one point to use a rake just to access her bins.

“I was so fed up one day, I couldn’t take it anymore,” Ms Gloury said.

“I rang up the council.

“I was hoping someone would know a way to get rid of them but there’s nothing that can be done.

“I’m hoping they might be gone in a few weeks, now that it’s a bit windy.”

The wind had initially pushed the tumbleweeds onto her property but has also helped to shift them.

Ms Gloury said the issue started about seven weeks ago and had reduced by about half.

The tumbleweeds are still about 1.2 metres high in places.

“Where have they gone, probably someone else’s house?” she said.

The Snow Road had to be closed on Sunday as winds bunched the weeds up to an estimated 2.4 metres high, and blocked visibility for drivers.

“At one stage I couldn’t see the front of my house,” Ms Gloury said.

“The same thing happened two years ago.

“They were bad, but nothing like this.

“It’s just a sea of tumbleweeds.”

The weeds had inundated the Bella Vista Estate in February and March 2016.

Table Top Road, near Ettamogah Pub, was also covered in April 2008.

The tumbleweeds, which are commonly known as hairy panic, are not dangerous to people. 

The plant general grows in sandy, shallow or low fertility soils and dries out when there is a lack of rain.

It can be easily carried by the wind. 

Only a few homes have been affected in the Wangaratta region but people have reported the weeds covering roads. 

Ms Gloury believes the design of her block led to her property being inundated.

“I've copped it from all angles,” she said.
