Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @chuck00. It's wonderful to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about lawn care.

It looks like you have buffalo grass. The patchy areas in your lawn are likely due to compaction, which can prevent healthy growth. To restore these sections, I’d recommend aerating the soil to improve drainage and air circulation, then adding a layer of quality topsoil before laying new buffalo turf. Regular watering and a good lawn fertiliser will also help encourage strong regrowth. 

Here's a helpful guide: How to care for buffalo lawn.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
