I grew up knowing with confidence that Australia has six states and two territories WRONG! Apparently, it has six states and ten federal territories (some internal and some external) and that doesn't take into account the first peoples understanding of our country https://aiatsis.gov.au/explore/map-indigenous-australia This is going to be a deep dive indeed! I'm not sure I'm going to be able to draw it in 5 minutes but at least I will a better appreciation of my wonderful country

Love it! Talking of the Black Isle and archaeology, two questions: 1) have you ever been to Portmahomack? and 2) have I asked you that before? If so, sorry!

Also, I had to register and log in a few times before I could post too. :-/

Argh! Sorry about the registration issues, Kirsty...

Never been to Portmahomack - but that was one my other options for a summer excavation, because the University of York was running a dig there. I know people who spent a few summers there and loved it so much they kept going back.

I am enjoying these so much--except for the deep dive I had to go thru to discover how to post comments. Well, I guess that's the point.

Argh! Was it a pain to do? I don't know because I'm always logged in, so I don't know what it's like to leave a comment without doing so. What happened?

Nah..not really. Just have to create an account, then make sure that it actually happened, then go back to email and follow the link, then log in with your account, and then you can make a comment. I imagine the next time will be much easier.

I had to do twice, but I am pretty sure that it was operator error.
