Hello everyone and welcome to another addition of 'This Week at Davis'. Our intrepid reporters and photographers have captured life on our station here for those at home once again: in and around the workshops, out at the ski landing area, in the bar and out by the beach. This week we think, after some long weather delays we may be farewelling a number of our expeditioners. Amongst them we pay tribute to two comms riggers, John and Ron, who came for a month and stayed for Summer, and Andrew 'Clobbs' Davidson, a long time friend of Davis station and the men and women who have worked here. We wish all of them a safe journey home and we wish you at home a very happy and productive week.

This has been a great week at Davis: scientific experiments successfully completed, communication towers upgraded, patches of blue sky found amongst a sea of grey for flights to Casey, very solid progress on the Waste Water Treatment Plant, a textbook main power house shutdown, a reordered storehouse following resupply and a range of international visits and social events adding a splash of colour against the brown Vestfolds hills and the rapidly melting sea ice.

This week, under blue skies and warm sunshine (relatively speaking), the Davis team have forged ahead with their programming with infrastructure projects both on and off station, aviation operations to Beaver Lake, Mawson and Enderby Land, Sansom and Hop Islands and lakes in the station operating area. Science projects are ongoing, as are our weather observations, field trainings and station supply activities. This week the station farewelled our highly capable operations coordinator, Anthony Hull (Hully). The station wishes Hully the very best in his latest deployment within the AAD's Antarctic programme.

After the hard work of resupply, this week has been a good opportunity for all those at Davis (long timers and new comers) to find their feet in their work roles and on the ice around station. This week weather has hampered flying but that hasn't stopped us from getting down to business.
