Location is in an ephemeral drainage line presumably dominated by Poa lab (see sighting 4508975, particularly 2nd pic). While it has pretty much dried out over 2023 it is worth noting that fresh water plants like Ranunculus inundatus (sighting 4504887) and Montia australasica (sighting 4504888) were previously found at virtually the same location in Dec 2022 when the drainage line was still flowing as a result of the relatively wet weather that year (and the prior couple of years) courtesy of La Nina.
