Done!

Makes it easier to see the old inflorescence.
With one of the _Lomandra longifolia_ botanical diagnostic feature's of
the side branches of the inflorescence, only on the sides of its flat culm (stalk),
–clearest to see, approximately in the middle of this fifth photograph.

Related _Lomandra hystrix_ , usually growing in river sides, for example, has
the side branches of the inflorescence, spiralling all the way around the culm (stalk), with no flat 'stalk' gap in the branches as shown here in this _Lomandra longifolia_ sighting .

Thank you, awesome ! Sincerely no pressure no rush. Just hope some inspiration for you.
While there, if you may macro–photograph the tips of some example healthy leaves.
The fertile parts, if available, and the tips of the leaves close-up,
provide identifying diagnostic features.
Lomandra sp.

@MazzV You're welcome.
I ask you for permission to download here your third photograph,
crop this photograph to the old weathered, pale coloured, fruiting culm (infructescence) remaining in amongst these leaves;
then upload it into your sighting here as the fifth photograph;
please ?
Every one and every thing (AI) will see it clearly then ! :)
