When people ask what my favorite holiday is, it’s really hard to give a straight answer. I like different ones for different reasons. Christmas and Thanksgiving bring real reasons to celebrate: the birth of our Savior and gratitude for what we’re given, but Halloween is simply a fanciful time filled with fun. There is not the stress level the other occasions provide. No need for hustle and bustle, big, elaborate meals, or gift giving. Now that we have little ones it’s all about finding a costume, cooking up some chili and walking around our neighborhood with family to gather candy. I mean, who doesn’t love that? Since I was a little girl, it’s always been the holiday I enjoyed decorating for the most. Nothing was off limits as we carved out tombstones and hung webbing from every corner.

Collecting curiosities was a gentlemanly occupation for wealthy and educated 18th-century Europeans. Few creatures aroused more curiosity than those from Australia. But collections demand organisation, and classification itself reveals patterns to life that cannot be ignored. From a leisurely occupation, the science of biology was born. Cabinets de curiosites became national museums, with specimens from Australia playing an integral role in all kinds of biological debates. Australian museums now foster their own research and continue to provide major and sometimes unexpected perspectives to international scientific developments. Continent of Curiosities follows the thread of individual natural history stories through the scientists of one of Australia's oldest museums, Museum Victoria. Together, these stories weave a history of the development of biological science from an Australian perspective, with insights into the people and places that influence the way we see and understand the natural world around us.
