GPSed. Heights guesstimated to be in 10-20cm range. Stem hairs appeared to be appressed i.e. "pressed" against/along stem - see 2nd & 3rd pics. So I'm going for S. sericea rather than S. behriana based on this feature and my most recent "nearby" confirmed sighting at Dry Plain to the southeast https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4540749.

Hi Roger, this sighting was from a couple of FOG visits in late 2020. I don't have any record of Keyacris from those visits - the first visit in November 2020 was initiated by Rainer & Naarilla in relation to an advocacy matter. The site is crown land (a common) - I'm lead to understand that in the last couple of years that the lessee has continuously overgrazed it.
