Jane i'd disagree. With those huge involucral bracts and long flattened spikelet clusters I would think this is a Cyperus. Cyperus exaltatus would fit the bill.

Done!

Makes it easier to see the old inflorescence.
With one of the _Lomandra longifolia_ botanical diagnostic feature's of
the side branches of the inflorescence, only on the sides of its flat culm (stalk),
–clearest to see, approximately in the middle of this fifth photograph.

Related _Lomandra hystrix_ , usually growing in river sides, for example, has
the side branches of the inflorescence, spiralling all the way around the culm (stalk), with no flat 'stalk' gap in the branches as shown here in this _Lomandra longifolia_ sighting .
