It is a pleasure to announce that we have a casting displayed in the Queensland Museum in the Insect Agency Exhibition which opens to the public on the 15th of September. The entry fee is a bargain, free entry. The exhibit will be in Brisbane until July 2024 after which it will move around the state of Queensland for a while. Please come and see this most impressive casting (weighing in at about 130 kg) and exhibition. We will post videos of the making of this casting soon.
