Hidden heroes of Killarney
These native grasses often go unnoticed β but right now theyβre putting on a spectacular show as they come into seed.
π± Kangaroo grass
π± Native sorghum
π± 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 β 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 canβt be underestimated. Native grasses are the quiet foundation of healthy bushland.
π Keep an eye out for them in areas of undisturbed forest and grassland β and take a moment to appreciate the life they support.
