Default Plant id help me out!

I have noticed it for quite a while but have never seen flowers. It is not
spreading by roots so assume it is spreading by seed. I'll keep my eye out
for when they do flower and take a piccy then.

I have onion weed and it is nothing like it. The leaves on this one are
twice as long. They remind me of onions and have ridges running from top to
bottom.

Hmmmm... A lot of sedges have ridged leaves...

You could press a bit of it (try to get roots, shoots, leaves and flowers) and
send it to the National Herbarium. Then we'd all know what it is! :-D

I think the Pastures Protection Board will ID weeds as well. And CSIRO?

My first thought was 'lemon grass', but on second inspection, it looks too
succulent and hasn't got the reddened leaf bases. It couldn't be some kind of
native ground orchid?
