Hi Andy
This doesn't look like Austrostipa bigeniculata.

Hi Andy
Since you chose A. bigeniculata I ask: Did the awns have 2 bends in them?
A. densiflora does too.

Initially I was confident that it was bigeniculata but the fact that the photo quality is not the best perhaps I should take it down.

Whatever you think.... definitely not A. bigeniculata.
