Comments
Final preparations for our arrival at Mawson are underway. The first day will be very busy with inductions and briefings being conducted on the Aurora Australis and on station. We will not commence cargo or refuelling operations until all inductions and briefings have been completed. This a very important part of our operations with safety being of the utmost importance to our organisation.
We have just had a chat with Mawson and they are as keen to see us as we are to see them. We are hoping this will be Saturday afternoon.
Cheers
Leanne, Simon and Amy
