Marianne Czolij and Vanessa Mack are still coming to grips with all that is involved, and finding it much more time consuming than expected. So far we are merely responding to requests, but later, we may try promoting and extending this valuable service. If any readers are interested in joining the volunteers, please let us know. Any income received from tours can be used by the Museum. Donations As ever, donations to the Museum or a contribution to the publishing and distribution of the Newsletter are more than ever needed.

In late November members of the public were invited to a rare viewing of a unique specimen. Inflorescent was the final performance of Barbara Campbell's residency program at the University's Centre for Performance Studies. Her whole body was inscribed with cycad-frond patterns and other decorative motifs in a special ink which only shows up in ultraviolet light. The light was concealed within a wiven palm-leaf fan. As Barbara swept this across her body different parts of the decoration became visible.
