Article created 6 July 2025, nominated for DYK on 7 July 2025 and is of sufficient length at 2817 characters. Earwig comes up as 20.6%. Both hooks are supported, however I find ALT0 more interesting. Good article which increased my knowledge of early Australia. TarnishedPath^talk 10:59, 8 July 2025 (UTC)
