Although not uncommon in tall forest and wet gullies along the coast, this species is quite uncommon up on the tablelands. Hence this is a good find as the first CNM sighting of this species.

Do you have any other photos of this plant? It's a bit difficult to make out the features. First thoughts are maybe a Poa or even a Bolboschoenus or Fimbristylis.

I have added some details from the same photos. I don't much like any of your suggestions. I suppose it might be a Poa but it isn't like any other I have seen. Not the other two suggestions if images online are anything to go by.
The flower itself was quite large (about 5 mm long).

May be a wallaby grass but I don't think the one AI is suggesting. The plant itself is also quite tall (relatively speaking).

Fimbristylis crossed my mind as well, but I think this likely a grass. Just unsure which. I don't it is Rytidosperma, they are quite distinctive.

That's an excellent suggestion, it should be in this type of forest just on the edge of the coastal escarpment. We'll need to add it to the list.
