Lindsay Hazley, the tuatara curator at the Southland Museum and Art Gallery, and Henry the tuatara have marked fifty years of companionship. It all began when schoolboy Lyndsay started as a  volunteer at the museum  in 1972 and discovered that 55 year old Henry had arrived two years earlier from Stephens Island.
