Could be, I don’t trust the media for anything. Not even the tide tables.
Have you seen “The Hunter,” with Willem DaFoe? I need to dig it out and watch it again, with an eye toward current events. There s a character in it named Lucy. I don’t know if there’s an artistic connection between her and the last of the Tasman people. I believe the very last was a woman named Lucy who had become the consort of the Governor of Van Diemen’s Land, or of a high ranking military officer there. As their number dwindled, the estimable Brits took to preserving them with taxidermy. Apparently her dying wish was that that not be her fate, but it was. Need to find the story.
