Cape Ivy - Senecio angulatus. We used to call it 'mile-a-minute'.

This has no petals and the leaves are ivy-like. Could it be Delairea odorata (aka Senecio mikanioides)?

Yes that's it. Sorry I got that wrong. mile a minute. It's a pretty nasty weed here in Adelaide. I've seen it covering large areas and swamping other vegetation.
