From Jan and Rob

This gauze roll has been in Jan's bushwalking medical kit for years, being mainly used by other walkers to bandage their feet to protect from further blistering. The gauze has been to the Wollemi Pine with Jan, who was with Wyn Jones the pair of botanists that identified the tree from fosil records. Jan worked on the site of the pine recording and researching.

This roll came to Australia with Rob all the way from New Zealand about 15 years ago. It had been kept in a metal tin and has rust stains on the edges of the roll.
