I am struggling to see the difference between those two solanum (prinophyllum and pungetium), and as pungetium is a notifiable weed it would be good for me to be better educated on this!
Many thanks and best regards
Deb

Hello Deb, a good site to check plant details especially if you know the correct ID of a plant is PlantNet (http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/). It is also quite useful if you want to check the distribution of species, if you look up S. viarum on this site you can see its distribution, which is in the northern part of the state.

Wikipedia often has non-technical descriptions, sometimes detailed, sometimes scrappy. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solanum_prinophyllum
