Could be correct Charles, but need to see if basal leaves are present. Also a wide shot of the paniculate flowers.

It's a good idea with Thysanotus photos to hold a ruler up against the flower too. In my experience T. tuberosus flowers are a fair bit bigger than juncifolius, although the NSW Flora has their size overlapping (tepals 10-19mm long for tuberosus vs 10-14mm for juncifolius, so double that for total flower width). We're never going to get to species on the basis of these photos, so I'm going to just confirm it as Thysanotus sp.
