To accompany the fine food was a display of hobbies and special projects that people had undertaken during the year. This included beanies, crocheted squares for a blanket and a letter opener ice axe made by Vicki, Mel’s origami penguin and peacocks and Brandi-Dog game boards, memento ice axes made to 1/3rd actual size and push-along-penguins for Wayne’s grandchildren. Chris made wooden jewellery boxes for his nieces Laurel and Josie, stylised wooden emperor penguins, a rolling pin and the Mawson 2012 station plaque. The plaque was cast in pewter on a Huon pine backboard. Anders made a utility box out of sassafras and Huon pine and a carved penguin. Michael made a couple of push-along-penguins for his nieces Lucy and Asha, an extension piece for a break lever on his Harley Davidson motorcycle and two jewellery boxes. Robert made a jewellery box for his partner Sandy, decorated with a hand carved map of Antarctica and other meaningful symbols such as a dragonfly which is the English meaning of Robert’s surname Kiil. Also on display were some of Sandy’s ceramic sculptures which were monthly gifts for Robert and two pottery cups made by Sandy and glazed and decorated by Robert.
