Comments

Making good time to Hobart we have confirmed our ETA as Saturday morning. The ship's crew is busy getting ready to load on fuel both its own and some for Mawson as well as supplies for V6.

The expeditioners are assisting prepare for a low-key Australia Day with Dr Anne becoming today's kitchen assistant overseeing the making of a Pav to accompany a good old Aussie lunch. As most of the crew have only seen Australia from the dock in Hobart, the rest of us are throwing together some of our favourite Australiana photos set to music to provide the backdrop for the day.

REGARDS: Christine & Bloo
