It could be, but I need to stress that it’s not a well thought through ID. I’ll come back to it later if Matt doesn’t have a strong view

@Tapirlord I don't know much about Plinthanthesis rodwayi, but a quick read of the descriptions suggests it is essentially an awnless wallaby grass. This plant looks like Microlaena.
