The winter brew team , and our hidden brew team photo.

Another stunning sunset. Well almost a sunset. WE have reached the longest day of summer. It excactly 6 months since we did our midwinter swim. Time flies...... 

Visitor on the heli pad , seems to waiting for the next Helo out of here !!!

The access to Shirley Island is getting a bit on the dodgy side , with pools appearing in the ice. 

Diving in Antarctica is a rewarding expereince (wish It was me in the shot !! See the Penguins buzzing the divers

Another glorious Robbo's sunset. Robbos Hut is my faorite. Views to die for , a nice hut , with a veranda!! Mel the F.T.O for the summer (Field Training Officer) and Scotty the weather forcaster on a ski trip from station to Browning hut , some 35km ski. a great effort in a day. They stopped in on us at Robbos to demolish a large tin of baked beans several Litres of water , 1/2 a doz cups of tea then they were off again for the remainder of the ski over the sea ice.
 

During the summer season we have a few flights comming and going to deliver personal from station to station plus a few supplies.
Here we are Chainsawing a snow anchor to keep the Casa212 in place in case of high winds. 

Back at the circle again. This time returning from Wilkins. The hagglund is towing our grey water back to station for treatment and disposal. 

Before we dug down to the tracks.Not a great deal of the machine is sticking out!! 

Upon returning to station from the runway , this sight greeted me !! On of the operators found a crevase inside station limits.He only suffered a few cuts and bruises and a massive dent in his ego.Un-fortunatly the machine is a return to Australia for repairs 

The Casa 212. These planes do a ferry service between our 3 stations. They arrive here from Hobart , well thins time they actually flew into Demont Delville , the French station as the weather here wasnt suitable for a landing.They then flew into here. At Present they are stationed at Davis and are flat out flying in the Mawson re-supply 

Penguin Porn!!! The birds are back with a vengence!! Its entertaining to sit and watch their antics. These Adelies do some of the most amusing things. Stealing each others nesting rocks , has to be the one that takes the cake for me.  

Intense cloud formations rolled in today. The winds been blowing a steady 50 odd knots for the last 2 days.
