Single tree fern growing in a creek bed, seems to have survived the fires and is still doing well. I would’ve thought they’d be less fire resistance.

Nice diagnostic photos. Oddly, Dicksonia seem to be very fire resistant. After the 2003 fires, the first new green in the gullies of the Brindabellas was all due to tree ferns.
