Thanks for the quick ID Ava T-B, and for the additional info Kate. Good to know this plant.

This probably Lantana camara - a very invasive species, very difficult to control - it is very thorny and forms dense thickets. Some of its initial spread is from people planting it in their gardens, then birds spread the seeds. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lantana_camara
