I wouldn't have envied your research for your pirate novel. Australia is much easier. I've been considering dusting myself off, changing out of my trackies and ugg boots and heading into the State Library myself one of these days.

For me, it's 1900-1901. I'm currently researching bloomers and shoes! Never mind the rest of it. But it's so much fun, and very rewarding, as you say. You find out all kinds of things you never knew. I did the same kind of research for my pirate novel, but that was more difficult because it was set in North and South Carolina. Maybe I'll see you at the State Library! I think that's where I need to go next. Oh Gabrielle, I hear you! For me, it’s 1900-1901. I’m currently researching bloomers and shoes! Never mind the rest of it.
