Anyone have ideas as to what species this young palm tree is? It grew by itself and I'm considering transplanting it to a more open location, but ideally I'd know what it will turn out to look like long term before I do that. This is around Canberra which might help narrow it down (i.e. it has to be something fairly cold tolerant).

That does look like a pretty good match to the leaves, looking at photos cabbage tree palms look decent fully grown so that'd be nice.

If you step on some god awful spikes it's a cabbage tree.
