Where is this grass growing. Poa species does not grow in Townsville.

What I found:
Poa is a genus within the family Poaceae.
Poa includes grasses like Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis), and Poaceae is the large family of grasses that includes all true grasses like wheat, corn, bamboo, and rice.
That should cover it. :-)

Sorry that the photos are not very good. I’m happy to just leave it as a species in the grass family.
