Comments

With Macquarie Island in our wake, we are well on our way back to Hobart with the rolling seas of the Southern Ocean reminding us of the joys of travelling to such remote locations. The Nuyina may be a 160.3m icebreaker, but the sounds, shudders and shakes of such a giant ship against the waves is an impressive and awe inspiring experience. It's also a chance to unwind and relax before returning home as we enjoy cups of tea, games of cards and debrief on the achievements of the last couple of weeks.
