Bought and moved into this house in Brisbane, Australia a couple of months ago. If it rains for a week and I can't mow, this stuff comes out of nowhere.
Half of the front lawn has this. The other half not a single thing. Looks ridiculous. No one else on the street has this much, just the odd few.
Is it a weed? Anything I can spray to get rid of it?
Or do I tell the Mrs we are moving already?

Looks like _Paspalum notatum_ with common name of Bahia grass. The v-shaped inflorescence is a giveaway. It’s native to Mexico/South America, but apparently also naturalized in Australia. Could also be an Australian cousin of Bahia.
That looks like bahiagrass in your lawn.
