Even on weekends the dedicated expeditioners at Casey like to do that little bit extra for a worthy cause, namely maintenance on the neglected cane line. The first job was to reinstall a few of the more important canes, like the "turn right here or you will soon be in the middle of nowhere" type of signs.

The last flight of the season marked the beginning of our winter. CASAs departed station on Monday flying from Casey to Hobart in just over nine hours. The following day the remaining summer expeditioners boarded the airbus for home.
