It was only a couple of weeks before the exhibition in 2015 that we found out that Nellie had carved her own bed.  Through a bit of luck and detective work it was located at Bagdad, Tasmania – still being used by the friends of Madge’s whom had been given the bed after her death. We thank them for allowing us to pull their bed apart to get a photo of the date on the inside of the bed footer.
