:Wikipedia says the Lachlan Macquarie started as governor of New South Wales on 1 January 1810, I don't see any reason that wouldn't be correct in the Temeraire universe. So I think we can estimate the adventures of ToS takes about a year from Rankin arriving in Jan '09? Does that help? Or am I confusing you more? -- [[User:Strangerface|Strangerface]] 19:00, 21 August 2010 (PDT) | :Wikipedia says the Lachlan Macquarie started as governor of New South Wales on 1 January 1810, I don't see any reason that wouldn't be correct in the Temeraire universe.

Timeline
On p. 68 of Tongues of Serpents, it says that O'Dea was "taken up in the troubles in 'ninety-eight" and transported for life, but also that he'd been "fetched to the colony fifteen years before" the Blue Mountains expedition. As far as I can tell, the timeline has only been hammered out up through 1808-- should "fifteen" be taken as a typo for "ten", or are we missing some years of indeterminate travel time? --Wombat1138 17:01, 21 August 2010 (PDT)
