Looks like an invertebrate, perhaps some sort of grass scale.

Thanks Heino. I found some more and scraped the white part back to reveal lots of little beasts http://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Sightings/Details/3374091.

Identification suggested on basis of scale found on Wanniassa Hill. Don't know what grass it was on, but quite common at this site.

Only known host of Symonicoccus is kerosene grass, Aristida ramosa.
