Description:
Aristida caput-medusae, commonly known as many-headed wiregrass, is a herbaceous perennial three-awn grass the belongs to the family Poaceae. This is an Australian native species that's endemic to this area. It can grow to a height of 80cm, and forms large tussocks. PS: There are actually seven kangaroos hidden in the (now) second last photo, not that you can see them here. Tall grasses provide good cover when these animals are at rest.
Habitat:
Spotted along a sandy track at freshwater Lake Broadwater, which forms part of the Lake Broadwater Conservation Park.... https://parks.des.qld.gov.au/parks/lake-... This region is very flat, and Lake Broadwater is the only large, naturally-occurring freshwater lake on the Darling Downs. Dalby is the nearest town. NB: Just a little over 12 months ago and this lake was completely dry due to the massive drought that Australia experienced. It's wonderful to see how the lake and surrounding bushland has recovered. Birdlife was abundant.
