"How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea" open thread.

I have been asked to create an open thread for discussion of "How Green This Land, How Blue This Sea." As it has been out for a week now (gasp! so soon!), this seems reasonable to me. So here you go: here is an open thread.

THERE WILL BE SPOILERS.

Seriously. If anyone comments here at all, THERE WILL BE SPOILERS. So please don't read and then yell at me because you encountered spoilers. You were warned. (I will not reply to every comment; I call partial comment amnesty. But I may well join some of the discussion, or answer questions or whatnot.) I will be DELETING all comments containing spoilers which have been left on other posts. No one gets to spoil people here without a label.

You can also start a discussion at my website forums, with less need to be concerned that I will see everything you say! In case you wanted, you know, discussion free of authorial influence, since I always wind up getting involved in these things.

Have fun, and try not to bleed on the carpet.

I must say that I have been waiting for this since reading the original trilogy. And I was sold the moment I read the line 'but they forgot that Australia was inhabited by Australians' (there may have been some cackling).

Though I do have some questions that remain unanswered.

1) What meat was in those sausages that Mahir had? Mostly because I was pondering how The Rising would have affected the popularity of emu farming.

2) Speaking as one from more northerly latitudes, how has the rising affected coastal Australia's beach culture?

3) And while it was interesting to see how KA interacted with marsupials compared to placental mammals, that leads to the inevitable next question. What about the monotremes? While platypi and echidnas would never get over the amplification threshold for size reasons (I think), the fact remains that they're the most extreme outliers on the mammal family tree. Egg layers, use the W and Z sex chromosomes like birds and lizards (and have 10 of them!) ets.
1) Emu.

2) Surprisingly little, as sharks don't get KA.

3) Good question! Dun dun DUN dun.
