Been growing this for a few years now. First saw it when we were living in Bunbury for a year. It had gone rampant near the bridge over the estuary. The local council were treating it as a weed.

It's related to rocket but has narrower leaves and yellow flowers. It grows a bit wider, more like a small bush. It can be a bit invasive - but I'm not complaining about rampant food. We cut excess for the local cafe. The bushes seem to re-shoot after winter, although some seem to die off. I suspect this is part of natures plan ie. set seed into a new area to mine fresh minerals.

Whatever the reason, it's a tasty low maintenace food source. Very easy to grow.
