Possibly also Austrostipa bigeniculata. A photo of the seed would distinguish between them.

Thanks Michael
I had a look at other plants from the same site. It could well be A bigeniculata rather than Nassella neesiana.
The lemma is very hairy over its full length and there is no distinct corona at the lemma apex
