Hidden heroes of Killarney

These native grasses often go unnoticed — but right now they’re putting on a spectacular show as they come into seed.

🌱 Native sorghum

🌱 Barb wire grass

At this time of year their tall stems and dramatic seed heads are alive with purpose. These grasses play a critical role in our local ecosystems — providing shelter and habitat for endangered species like the Hastings River mouse, and a vital food source for finches and other seed-eating birds.

Their importance can’t be underestimated. Native grasses are the quiet foundation of healthy bushland.

👀 Keep an eye out for them in areas of undisturbed forest and grassland — and take a moment to appreciate the life they support.
