I think you are on the ball. Native Millet.

So “panic” is short for “panicum”.
I didn’t know that.

Sigh, there was a time when I used to learn something new every day. More like once a week now.

For grass ID, last time I needed to I found a good book in the Uni Library.

There are a lot of grasses and many look similar.

Grasses and eucalyptus. Both difficult to ID.

Absolutely, I’ve got what I’m pretty sure is Queensland Blue Grass on the Redoubt but the soil and location don’t fit.
I’ve got to get a ph kit to confirm what they say the area is acidic.

Granite regions usually have acidic soils, unless limestone has been deposited on top and then should be reasonably obvious.
