Hello good people.
Have I got a weed of type of grass here ?
Sorry @Rustyd0g, it's a weed. It is Paspalum. Our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. expert Mitch has previously shared this advice:
I'd recommend using David Grays 500ml Crab Grass and Clover Killer Selective Herbicide, as it will control Paspalum and a variety of other common lawn weeds. Unfortunately, spot spraying will likely cause some lawn damage so a Yates Zero applicator wand to apply the herbicide will prevent overspray onto the surrounding grass and potentially killing it too.
Please remember your personal protective equipment when spraying and mixing herbicides including a face mask, safety glasses, a long-sleeved shirt and trousers, and enclosed footwear.

Hello @Rustyd0g
That is definitely Paspalum weed. I would go with the suggested weed killer. Just to add to the suggestions made, I recommend using a Cyclone Stand-up Weeder Timber Handle if the infestation is not yet too bad. Mechanical removal will stop further infestation and make it more difficult for the weed to spread itself.
If you need further assistance, please let me know.
Eric
