Comments
Merry Christmas to everyone at home, and at Mawson, Davis, Casey and Macca, from all on board the Aurora Australis (aka the good ship Fanta). Have a "tipple" for us! As I write this, preparations are nearly complete for Christmas lunch, and the queue for the phone is gradually getting shorter. Christmas carols around the tree last night, followed by mince pies. Everyone has been busy getting their "secret Santa" present gift wrapped, and the tree looks terrific. We're due in Fremantle 0800 Wednesday 28th December, E berth, Victoria Quay. REGARDS Doug & Rob
