Large number across area between Toterdell St and Copland Dr. Some Austrostipa also sighted to the east, but away from the primary N. trichotoma patch to the west.

Can't work out how to reidentify as a general grass but upon further review (after looking at clearer N trich samples) I think my initial thought was incorrect and this is an Austrostipa. Feeling rusty.
