Comments

All resupply operations were completed this morning and the Aurora Australis departed Davis Station at 1130 hrs local time.
All returning expeditioners this morning were inducted on the safety requirements of the ship and all expeditioners were required to attend a practice emergency muster on the heli-deck. There are 24 expeditioners on the ship for our return trip to Hobart.
The Aurora Australis departed Davis with a long blast of the ships horn and it was acknowledge from the station with flares. We wish the summer and winter crews remaining on station every success.

Cheers Tony and Mike
