Yes, restiad.
A photo showing the scapes clearly could help.

Thank you Karen Wilson ( @karenwilsonau ) .

My suggested identification mistake .

Location : sandstone plateau close to Carrington Falls, Robertson area .

We may manually add a family taxon of: Restionaceae .

Without rushing and more carefully, I am looking into this sighting again towards identifying this plant.

Pretty sure now that it is a restiad. However NatureMapr doesn't give the option of a family-level ID so far as I can find.

The locality and specimen is consistent with Xanthorrhoea australis.

This doesn't look like a Caustis sp. - could be a restiad but I can't see the leaf sheaths to check whether they are closed (as in sedges) or split to the base (as in restiads). And the locality would help to narrow the possible taxa
