Leaving Mawson #2

Leaving Mawson #2
From an old slide. As the "Nella Dan" left the harbour heading North, there still were jobs to be done on the ship, such as checking the Fairchild Hiller FH1100 helicopters. The small orange boat is the "Macpherson Robertson", used by ANARE as a general work boat. Named after the owner of an Australian confectionery company who had been a major sponsor of Antarctic exploration, it was usually referred to as The Lollypop.

Sadly, we missed on chocolate frogs. But we did have a good supply of (now long gone) MacRobertsons chocolate all year. :)
