Looks like a great mullein (Verbascum thapsus) dying off. They are monocarpic,  or biennial  like foxgloves.

I also noticed a lot of Verbascum in New Zealand, especially around  the area of the MacKenzie Basin along with  other non natives like thistles. gorse, wild rose and massive brown trout.  :D
