Swamp grass will be hard to find this year. Especially with the Qld, NSW and Vic floods washing away the growing areas. I think we will have to treat it like gold for a while until new growing areas are found.

Ive just bought a large bag via the local bird club for $25, came in a bag previously used for 40kg of chicken feed and it is very tightly packed in.

As you can see from the way the bag is standing up the swamp grass is tightly packed in. The bag weighs about 3 kg now and Ive used quite a bit.
