I've read (National parks service, U.S.A.) that the existing grasses are
imports from Europe and Asia and elsewhere - there is a museum (in
Saskatoon?) where the original western prairie grass that buffalo turned 
into meat exists, not many
acres of it.
So it might very well be that Australian grass is better, if it is 
different.
I might try pineapple juice on steak, thanks, but "fresh" is probably 
different here too.
