Hedera sp. (helix or hibernica) (Ivy)
There are now two species of Hedera naturalised in the ACT, and probably across much of southern Australia, viz Hedera helix and H. hibernica. This follows some work at the Melbourne herbarium, which also indicated that H. hibernica is far more common than H. helix. Where you can capturing the hairs on young leaves and stems will help with identification.
