Thanks for this sighting if it was of the more invasive pink flowered cousin Cortaderria jubata the sighting would have been rewarded with a nursery native plant voucher see https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Species/Lists/3
for more details.

I was a bit surprised to find this pampas grass! This was my first visit to Flea Bog Flat even though I've driven past it hundreds of times. It wasn't easy to navigate, very boggy, and some impenetrable blackberry and honeysuckle. Lots of midges.

There is a group just starting to look after and restore this area
