This one is ambiguous in the photos. Were the bases pf the fronds where they meet the trunk soft and furry or sharp and spikey?

Probably Cyathea australis, but I'd need the answer to the above question before the ID can be certain.

Seems to be soft and furry. I hope enlarging last image helps with ID

Actually, it looks like there are spikes on the stipe base, so that confirms C. australis
