Not a fern, though it looks a bit like one. Would any of the flowering plant experts care to suggest an ID?

Ryu, I think it looks a lot like one of your previous images, see http://canberranaturemap.org/Community/Sightings/Details/1946707

It looks to have hairy undersides of its leaf while in Ovina echinata the hairs are confined to the main vein on the underside
