Greg,
I think that is right. He also got something wrong about mistletoes in the
"Fires" 3/4 I cannot remember and something about Tasmanian mammals in Tommo
and Hawk. It made me think that he had placed an error in each book on
purpose and I had missed some.
Happy New Year to all,
Alan

Although I admire the writings of Bryce Courtenay, but don't usually read
fiction, I was very disappointed when he perpetuated the myth that if you
kill a Brown Snake its mate will come after you. I think it was in the
book/film 'Jessica' if I am not mistaken.
Regards
Greg

Oh my gosh, it's gone feral! This sounds like a case of both sloppy writing
and editing. And it's not as if the expertise is hard to find. Bryce
Courtenay, for example, went to some lengths to seek out such expertise.
Perhaps someone would like to write a review.
