Very likely is Eleocharis acuta, the most commonly encountered Eleocharis species, and often in dams.

Probably is Eleocharis acuta ( the most common Eleocharis ) but always the off chance of a different species. Useful details are: shape of culm: sheath, mouth and mucro.

No identifying characteristics evident in photograph.
ID is based on previous records from this site.

Machaerina articulata

the dead head are remnants of Cyperus eragrostis in amongst grasses.
Location might need to be tweaked ?
