During Little Darwin's move from Magnetic Island to a new , smaller den , which resulted in the culling of many books, our framed picture of Mona Lisa went astray.
A search of paintings and pictures stacked against walls and in cupboards failed to find this famous ,priceless work of art , bought at a garage sale.. A visiting Darwin artist joined in the frantic search and found Mona Lisa in a most undignified postion - flat on her back, in a cardboard storage box ,underneath this writer's bed , along with other boxes of books and oddities.
Taken out, she was givn air , dusted and placed at the entrance to the den. which also is a cluttered bedroom , sporting a rare collection of Australian and New Zealand pub soda siphons and two knitted dolls inspired by Magnetic Island's mutilated mermaid , plus other items from Tut's tomb.
