Some sort of feral lily or iris, probably from dumped garden waste originally. I have no idea what it is otherwise.

I have photos of this thing too, taken up near Wollongong. It is a garden escapee, Anomatheca laxa, or at least that's what it was called when I took the photo years ago.

Blimey, doesn't look much like a Freesia. Bloody taxonomists!
