User's notes
I have been monitoring this clump for some weeks. There appear to be two different species in this small clump . The left hand plant has a much thicker stem and thicker flower pods which are still unopened. The taller right hand spike appeared a couple of weeks later and it is the flowers on this spike which have opened. Its the same plant as posted by Lisa H.

The previous sighting was 
Dianella longifolia ‘Benamba’ (Arching Flax-lily) on 30 Nov 2019 Dianella longifolia “Benamba” Unfortunately the kangaroos ate the flower spike on left - much thicker and thicker flower buds then the Benamba before the flowers opened so we could not get photos of those flowers for definite identification.
