Comments
The Macquarie Island Pest Eradication Project work (MIPEP) at the
isthmus where the islands station is based, was successfully completed
yesterday by helicopters and Lighter, Amphibious Resupply Cargo (LARC).
We are now sailing up and down the sheltered east coast hoping the
weather will improve to continue the last of the work - the flyoff of
almost 200 pods of bait and 80 drums of helicopter fuel.
Cheers
Cianchi and Beechy
