I suspect so given your other sightings in the area, and there aren't really many other possibilities I can think of. @dcnicholls ?

The glossy nature of the fronds suggest it may be a young Microsorum pustulatum, which also grows in the Tidbinbillas. Time, and the development of fertile fronds, will decide
