Need to do some checking . . . likely planted, given the location ??
Cyperus sp is a placeholder

Hi JaneR. I've looked back as I was sure I'd seen it before at a different site in wodonga. This is what it got ID'd as then. Not sure if that helps or no. This the healthiest lot I've seen of it. Schoenoplectus tabernaemontani (River Club-rush)

that's a different species: see shape(cylindrical versus rounded) and leafiness *green leaves up stem versus stem with no leaves).

ID as Bolboschoenus fluviatilis based on robust habit, height, noded stems, length of leafy bracts, general colour: however, spikelet shape (cylindrical) is a atypical, perhaps its an early stage.

TY JaneR. I will keep an eye on them from now on. They could have been planted but also could have come in the flooding (this site was underwater for a few weeks).
