How ypu people twist the evidence in your favor.
We have one fellow who thinks Australia’s largest lakes are dry, and you think the waters across from Tasmania need to be placid for a shipwreck to happen!
@gbrooks9, I think it might be beneficial to take a step back.
It looks to me like a discussion between “impossible” and “nearly impossible”. Outside of actual positive evidence that they did cross the Bass Strait, it seems like the two options are essentially indistinguishable.
George, I think since you’ve already said it would be a very low-probability event, maybe it’s worth agreeing-to-disagree in this case?

I having been following this discussion, but it’s clearly gone off the rails. I’m closing comments until tomorrow, maybe longer.

Lake Eyre, the largest lake, is dry most of the time.

Do all the major lakes suffer the same problem? And the rivers?
There are more rivers than I know about. The rivers in the major cities are probably fairly normal. But some rivers are dry. The river through Carnarvon (around 600 miles north of Perth) flows for about 2 months of the year, and is dry the rest of the time.
As for lakes – I really don’t know. Lake Eyre is the really large lake. And it can stay dry for many years. But then heavy rain can fill it, and it might stay wet for a year or two.
