Persicaria lapathifolia
Small plant with long narrow leaves and long thin clusters of pink ?flowers or perhaps seeds. About 30cm tall, leaves 10-20cm long, pink clusters about same length as leaves.
Growing in river / flood area in subtropical suburban park.
Plant search suggested a knotweed? Don’t recall having seen one before.
