I've tried looking but I can't seem to find the name of these weeds (in Australia):

enter image description here

The leaves don't grow any larger than in the photo. It is vine-type and can spread for metres. Vine-root stuff is is just below the surface. Gets a small red flower.

The weeds always grow in a clump. They don't get any larger than they are but spread like the plague and kill any grass it covers.

Anyone have any idea what they are?

The top photo looks like Creeping Charlie (Glechoma hederacea). Look at this question for some ideas on dealing with it.
