Comments

In the morning we conducted barge operations to move two pieces of heavy machinery ashore, a telehandler (JCB) and an excavator. This machinery is required to support station activities and the future rebuilding of Macquarie Island station. In the afternoon, we continued with LARC cargo operations and essential expeditioner movements from ship to shore.
