https://canberra.naturemapr.org/users/16240, I don't think Avena; I lean towards Sweet Vernal Grass too which I know to occur in the area, see Anthoxanthum odoratum (Sweet Vernal Grass); I can't positively id from foliage.

Thanks waltraud. It's not a species I associate with suburban Canberra so I just wanted to check.
