| Frank,
I know it looked slightly better when saw it in September 1991.
Anthony,
I have a number of transparencies that Ken Griffith had done whilst filming Black as Hell, Thick as Grass, it is feasible there might be a shot of the Ultimatum Tree amongst them.
I do have a number of 1879 images that include the tree, when the hawser of the pont used there was secured to it.

| Thanks Frank, Andy, and John
Then that would mean a new tree was planted there some time after 1991. |

| I haven't been down there since they put the Freeway through so couldn't comment on whats there now. Gary is probably the best bet.

| Les,
I’m trying find where Mrs Young has hidden the other slides, I have found some but nothing down the Tugela as yet.
It is that second one I hope to find.

| Andy,
I was looking for the slides and found a photograph of Walter Dunne, that I hadn’t seen for some while, filed inside some totally irrelevant papers, now I know I would have put it there...
