Hi,
Just read the story and WOW! Amazing story and have been spell bound (no pun intended!) the last few days reading it.
However being an Aussie by birth (currently living in England) I have a minor nitpick about chapter 38. The duck-billed platypus is not a Marsupial, it's a Monotreme. Only living Monotremes are the Echidnas (Spiny Anteaters) and the Paltypus.
Cheers
Mark
