Is this a native bamboo?



Is this bamboo native to Australia?  I don't know, so I will have to check with someone who knows more about it than me.  This bamboo was growing in Dongara, Western Australia.  It seems to be a 'running bamboo' and has spread throughout this particular vacant lot.

I saw quite a lot of bamboo around some parts of WA - and it appeared to be a similar (or the same) variety.  There was some around parts of Perth.  I note that there are quite a few bamboo nurseries in WA too.

I was interested too to see bamboo as a feature in the foyer/atrium of the Burswood Casino in Perth. (see photos below)
