User's notes

I think it looks like Luzula but I am unsure about the species. I thought possibly flaccida. The classification varies by the source. The plants were in open snow gum and viminalis woodland. They were towards the bottom of a south facing hillside so have more protection and more moisture

Excellent photos thank David, showing size of anthers, colour of tepals, flower stalks and leaf, enabling identification as indeed Luzula flaccida
