Rumdoodle gets prepped for landing.

Rumdoodle prepped and flagged

Early this week Jens, Luke, Corey and Matt spent three days working on the Rumdoodle Plateau ski landing area. The work involved marking out with flags a 1500 m x 50 m landing area for future Twin Otter flights into Mawson planned for later in the season. The flags were removed and stored in Rumdoodle hut and will be put back up when it is time to receive the Twin Otter from Davis.
