Also Austrostipa nodosa at the Pinnacle. Can split them based on the leaves and sheath. From PlantNet:
Leaves coarse: sheaths (3–)4.5–9 mm wide; blades 1–3 mm wide, rolled and erect or expanded and flexuose = A. nodosa and nitida
OR
Leaves fine; sheaths 2–5 mm wide; blades 0.6–1.2 mm wide, rolled = A. scabra and trichophylla
