Found near the escarpment- I’m not 100% on ID

Close to Blechnum ambiguum, but in this case I think this is B. wattsii.
Was it growing on a wet rock face or on the ground in a large population?

Sorry I don’t have a clearer photo of the habitat. It was definitely growing in soil rather than purely a rock face, although the area was very rocky close to the escarpment.
