My husband's family are direct decendants of this man. Thank you for providing information on him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.190.22.203 (talk • contribs) .

Hi who put the above here. I am researching where Strzelecki actually went in 1839 which is very contrary to where it is claimed he went. Some interesting stuff there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.54.9.250 (talk • contribs) .

Contents 1 Pronounciation? 2 Book on Google 3 Count? 4 Count?

[edit] Pronounciation?

Given the article points out that the Australian pronounciation is wrong (if that's not true, it is heavily implied and I would suggest a rewrite) then how is it properly pronounced? I think this information merits inclusion. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gorman (talk • contribs) .

Strez-letch-ki

No. It's more like Shche-letsky. The "rz" combination in Polish is pronounced "zh", but the "st" before it makes it more like "shch". The "z" sound never appears at all. Very tricky for Ozzies. JackofOz 03:35, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm Polish. Believe me, it's shche-letc-ki

[edit] Book on Google

'Physical description of NSW ... etc' (Strz's book) is available as full version, on google books —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.54.9.218 (talk • contribs) 14:19, October 24, 2006.

Here's a link. — Jeremy 05:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
