@Tapirlord I will mention that I revisited these plants and noticed there were several plants intermediate between this and A. scabra. It may be a factor of the plants being older and having dropped much of their seed, but these didn't have the A. nodosa "vibe" in that they were very leafy. I almost wonder if these are just Austrostipa scabra exhibiting a strange response to the recent burn.

Cool! The broad leaves keyed it for me into A.nodosa so I'm happy with that ID

As there is a dispute, I suggest we leave it at genus.

Hi @JBrickhill , thank you for your sighting and observational notes. Is it possible for you to keep an eye on these eggs and photograph any larvae that may hatch from same? Just to eliminate the possibility of a Dainty Swallowtail also having visited your garden.

Papilio aegeus
