Hi experts, can you please tell me what type of grass this is? I live in Melbourne Australia.
If there are no problems with this grass, I was thinking of helping it spread more. Its at the front of my house and I just rebuilt so it's all sandy but this grass is doing well.

If you’re asking for help with identifying a weed and/or type of grass, please include close-up photos showing as much detail as possible.
For grasses, it is especially important to get close photos from multiple angles. It is rarely possible to identify a grass from more than 5 feet away. In order to get accurate identifications, the more features of the grass you show the more likely you are to get an accurate identification. Features such as, [ligules](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/180.png.jpg?itok=D5yNs0l8) (which can be hairy, absent entirely, or membranous (papery) like the photo), [auricles](https://extension.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/styles/image_gallery_mobile/public/2024-03/Grasses%20at%20a%20Glance%20Blog%20Pictures.png.jpg?itok=PLrWX4q-), any hairs present, roots, stems, and any present seed heads. General location can also be helpful.
OP, please respond to this comment with any additional pictures if needed.

Bermuda grass
Confirming other comment, Bermuda.
Edit: there are many types/cultivars of Bermuda. That can vary slightly in appearance
look like Augustine grass
Not sure but I think Bermuda
The bermuda loves sandy soil. Keep it real low and it will spread nicely.
Yummy
