Is it just me, or does the new growth on my A. Cunninghamiana look significantly longer than the older fronds!?

Perhaps from it being in ground now vs container and having an unlimited supply of water?

Is that dark thing a spathe about to flower?

That’s just an old crown shaft boot about to fall off.

Thanks all! I’m so glad I found something for this swampy spot. 

Best wishes for a mild winter and ultimate long-term survival.

Another thing I just noticed on the zoomed in pic, those growth rings are close together. So for sure, it's just stretching out a bit.

For comparison, this palm was c. 25 years grown in containers. Since it was in the ground (in a botanical garden) the trunk became much fatter:

Some in habitat. Creek only flows like this with summer tropical storms.
Usually its flowing lightly after rain or dries up in winter due to months without rain.

They are only found near creeks and gullies in brisbane where there is moisture and water.

Note: This is in my housing estate at bottom of street :)

Wow cool didn’t know they could grow that long in containers. Those trunk rings are extremely close!

Any pipe leaks in the area?

Not exactly, but this is my lowest point and it stays wet here 24/7. You can see the extreme amount of cannas and elephant ears growing adjacent to it, which is also indicative of a very wet spot! :) That started out from 3 or 4 canna rhizomes and a 1 gallon container of Elephant ears THIS year! 

In fact, it is so wet there the builder is trying to figure out a way improve drainage once it runs Off to the road. 
 

When I was digging the hole, it had the consistency of tomato soup. It was just mud basically. Nothing else would grow here...!
