Is this two species of grasses together or just one?

I think there are two species here - one is Tall Sedge (Carex apressa). The other is a grass, not sure which one though.

Thank you. I don't think I've seen the Carex apressa before. I take it that is not a native? I'm starting to realise how many native grasses I grew up with as a kid but didn't think anything of at the time.

Carex appressa is a native, a common plant in wet areas - rivers, creeks, wetlands, dams. It’s a sedge and you get cut if you run your hand up the stem ‘sedges have edges’. Unlike a rush which has smooth cylindrical stems :)

Thank you so much. (have never heard that before.. nor knew what a sedge was. But I will remember that!) So its odd being on the top of a hill then. Must have been a damp spot maybe run off from the paddock next door.
