Loosen the ground with a fork and you will probably find the roots (rhizomes) are quite extensive. The original plant also had a lot of seeds so they could have grown too. It would be interesting to see which method of spreading is happening. NSW Weedwise says "Asparagus fern primarily reproduces from seed, but can also spread vegetatively from rhizomes."

This region is too far inland for X. australis, geographically it is inconsistent with the species.

OK, I cropped the second photo a bit. Ignore the sedge and Sneezeweed. You will have to download the image to see the details of the fruit on the stem.
