I that location it is very likely the native Rumex brownii which is found in grassy habitats such as your woodland.

Hi Michael we have it in one part of the woodland but the leaves looked different to the group Michale M identified so I thought I should post. Perhaps this is just natural variation? I will take some comparison pics just in case.

We have plenty of native "weeds". Being a native weed is not a bad thing. It just means it is a good coloniser of new ground or disturbed ground. Eg Erodium crinitum, Dysphania pumilio, etc.

Aahhh well the little woodland will b thrilled to hear that. If u have a list of good colonisers of new ground which are part of the original understory of the yellow box red gum woodland I would love to se it😊
