Who flew the first powered aeroplane in Australia?

erm okay i'm reading a book about freaks so:

in 1822, the london literary gazette published a story about a new species which had been discovered (albeit dead) and was coming to exhibit.

what animal was it?

that would have been quite neat but it is not right.

the reason Stuart is still closest is that it is a hybrid
