Kangaroo grass is a grass species which grows from 0.3 to 1 metre tall with green to bluish leaves and clustered seed heads, which peak in growth from September to March.

The Wurundjeri-woiwurrung grind the seeds of this grass into flower and use leaves to turn into fibre for twine, used to make fishing nets and bags.

It grows in any soil between wet and dry in places of full sun to semi shade.
