Comments

Nuyina and Mawson and their respective teams are now in the rhythm of resupply. The barge transits in, transfers essential gear ashore and tomorrow we plan to start the removal of items no longer required on Station. In between these evolutions are the movement of people to support training, operations and science.
There is also the refuelling, the team is ready when the two-day weather window presents, to finalise the set-up of equipment ashore and then pump fuel, referred to as Special Antarctic Blend (SAB), to Mawson.
The newly ashore winter team had their first sleep ashore and are conducting handovers while the everyday running of Nuyina and Station continue.
In short, there is a lot going on.
Regards, Chris & Andrew
