Do these ferns have stalks? They're so tall

Yeah they have trunks. They're called soft tree ferns (Dicksonia Antarctica). The ones in the Otways can be 100+ years old.

Amazing, love me a healthy fern and these are wonderful.

If they are the same as the ones up in the Dandenongs then I have seen them at least 20ft tall and with trunks as big as 18in diameter.

Yeah but not a lot of tree ferns around these days. Most ferns are shrubs without a trunk
