Comments
We continue to make good progress towards Casey, and anticipate being in a position to attempt cargo/personnel movements by helicopter tomorrow. This operation will be entirely dictated by what ice and weather comes our way, but we're thinking positive thoughts...
Also last night, a fund raising event was held for Camp Quality, with one of the undersigned (Barbara) amongst an elite group who sacrificed their hair for charity. We raised a total of $5800, including $3000 already pledged by our Hobart colleagues.
REGARDS
Doug, George & Barbara
