@AaronClausen @michaelb @Choyster You'll all be interested in this one I suspect. Grass looks like Austrostipa densiflora.

My understanding is that Austrostipa densiflora in usually found in sandy or gravelly areas in grassy woodland or eucalypt forest. The grass I photographed was taken by a stream in the company of Carex appressa and another sedge. That habitat seems to not quite fit with the above information.
