I think this one might be Austrostipa densiflora. The past few weeks A. densiflora has been visible from the road around the corner for westbound traffic on Belconnen Way.
Edit: I drove past and could only see Avena and Rytidosperma pallidum. Must have been thinking of another road.

Hi John. This is a good stand of native grasses. Is there any chance of getting a better photo or 2, from the sunny side of the grasses?
