Bollocks to that mate.
You were the one insinuating Aboriginal housing were universally rude 'lean-to's' saying "But they weren't huts as we currently understand the term, more like what we'd call, these days, lean-to's - a couple of branches as uprights and bark attached for a bit of shelter."
You then back tracked to say this didn't apply to SE Australia.
The bulk of modern day Australia's population resides from Sydney to Melbourne effectively SE Australia. Why do you think this wouldn't apply to pre-colonialist history? The area with the most abundant natural resources would obviously support the greatest number of people.
Pascoe might be called out of giving too much emphasis on certain passages form journals but both sides can be accused of that. However you still haven't furnished any example of him fabricating a single thing.
