Really need a closer view of the fronds. Looks like a Blechnum, possibly B.minus?

Yes, that did cross my mind too, with the fat trunks, but I've not seen T. barbara when it's growing back after a fire. I couldn't tell the scale from the photo, and B. nudum can form trunks. I agree with the ID.

Unfortunately I have lost some other images from this site that might have shown it better, but I have edited the sighting to include a cropped image of the original if that helps
