Hi Nigel
Kidney Weed is very good, (I have it home at Rye) Weeping Grass,(micolaena
stipoides), Wallaby-grass, (Danthonia spp) and Bidgee-Widgee, (Acaena
anserinifolia) would all grow together and form a great low growing grass
land area which you would not need to mow. However, you would need to weed
it by hand on a regular basis to remove the exotic grasses. Maybe every
month or so. Especially during the spring.
Contact Greening Australia for the nearest nursery in your area, 9457 3024.
Good luck
Mal :-)
