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.
🌱 Kangaroo grass
🌱 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.
