User's notes
growing in grassland next Lake Burley Griffin, an area that is mowed frequently. Grassland is very dense, and quite short, making actual numbers near impossible to estimate.
Actual numbers impossible to estimate so this is a guess
Possibly Cyperus sphaeroideus, or even C brevifolius ?

Not Cyperus sphaeroideus. We have no records of C. brevifolius. The inflorescence seems immature. I suspect this is a patch of Cyperus congestus, see sightings:- 3342917, 4198445
