Water's edge

 

 

This plant is Juncus australis or Austral Rush. It is a

tough reed, which grows in clumps in boggy conditions. Here it grows beside the lake where the tidal water gives it a good soaking regularly. In the warmer months it gets "not very attractive" brown flowers at the top of the spikes.The spikes are about 60cm long, cylindrical and taper to a point.
