Looks like B.nudum

The leaf shape doesn't look quite right for B. nudum, but possibly because it's young regrowth. It could also potentially be Blechnum minus.
It's another plant worth keeping an eye on - B. nudum has never been recorded from Black Mountain and there are only two records of B. minus from Black Mountain in the herbarium.

The angle of the initial pinnae may also indicate B. cartilagineum. I've seen B. cart in the Aranda Hill bush in past years.
