Egypt on show: Students from Morisset High School are shown a replica of Tutankhamun’s headpiece as Avondale College of Higher Education chaplain Dr Wayne French gives a guided tour of the Land of the Pharaohs exhibition in Avondale Library (Lake Macquarie campus). The tour includes a demonstration of how the Egyptians made papyrus. Artefacts in the exhibition are from Wayne’s collection. “I love the stories from history,” he says, “and I love to illustrate them.” Avondale president Dr Ray Roennfeldt opened the exhibition this past Thursday (August 11). It runs until August 30.—Sonja Larsen Credit: Sonja Larsen.
