Guardian 24,860 – Araucaria
Posted by Ciaran McNulty on 18th November 2009
I found this a bit of a slog today, though admittedly that may be due to the work Christmas party I was at last night. Aracuaria managed to work in a few little sets of connected clues, but unfortunately I wasn’t familiar with the main one and had to resort to Wikipedia a few times to check my answers.

My overall impression of the puzzle was not helped by fact that many surfaces made little sense to me.
