Not P. esculentum, possibly Pteris tremula, but need to see spores. Could be Hypolepis muelleri

a person on iNaturalist has suggested the following ID with the following comment. "Just done some checking, H. rugosula seems to pretty much the only sp. that that's in the area, and is also a nice match visually" though it might be worth a try.

Yes, likely ID for that location. Need a bit more info to be completely sure (spores, hairs on stipes etc), but let's go with H. rugosula
