As an aside, I live in a valley and on one of the roads out of the
valley, up a steep climbing road, high on some rocks on the cliff
side, there is a huge basket fern growing, I've never seen one so
big, it must be a good 2 metres across.

Is a photo possible?

A bit difficult, the road has no where to pull over, a drop down into the
valley on one side and a rock cliff on the other.
