* AccidentallyCorrectWriting: When designing the religion of the Atjuntja [[WordOfGod Jared]] was mostly thinking of Myth/ChineseMythology and UsefulNotes/{{Zoroastrianism}} for the dualistic aspect of this religion. As it turns out, most native Australian societies do have a light goddess and a dark god, albeit representing literally the sun and moon rather than moral concepts (some, like [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bila_(sun) Bila]], [[LightIsNotGood are pretty bad]]).
* LifeImitatesArt: The fictional plague Marnitja ("the Waiting Death") was based on the real-world Hendra virus, a disease which infects humans via horses. The author described the fictional-analogue disease Marnitja as infecting humans via dogs, since alt-Australia lacked horses. At the time, the real Hendra was only known to infect horses. Scarily, a couple of years after this was described in the timeline, Hendra was also discovered to infect dogs.
