On the Monaro plain in southern New South Wales, a farmer is showing us the Kangaroo grass that has reappeared on his property. Unlike a lot of neighbouring properties, this farm is filled with native grasses that come up to your knees. The farmer points out the kangaroo grass scattered throughout the paddock, and in the distance you can see patches of the orange native that once dominated this landscape.
