Sounds like Oxalis latifolia it is a common invasive species in australia.

(I am no expert so take my ID with a grain of salt)

This is based on the large leaves with a fishtail shape and the purple pink old flowers. also it seems it does not spread by seed rather it "reproduces by bulbs and bulbils produced from the underground stems." source
