Comments

The presentation last night was of the adventures of our ANARE Club representative in Cairo, Syria & Jordon. There were some amazing scenery and ancient ruins. It was great to see Palmyra that unfortunately now many of the ruins are no longer there.

We have had a series of refuelling briefings today. This ensures that all who are involved in the refuelling operations at Mawson know their roles and responsibilities. As part of one meeting we also went through a new mooring procedure in the event refuelling is to be done over West Arm.

Cheers
Leanne, Simon and Amy
