Looking past the radio shack (yellow) and meteorology office area, with some of the many aerial masts. In those days Macquarie was not a Tasmanian National Park, so that's smoke from burning rubbish in the distance. No fires allowed now! The weather here is more typical than in most of my photos.

Taken during station changeover (see DUKW unloading in background), December 1967. Elephant seals in the foreground.

Taken during the annual changeover of expeditions. Looking across the main part of the station down the isthmus toward the main part of the island. In the foreground, the surgery is being extended, while in the distance on the left, a DUKW is unloading meteorological stores.

Taken during changeover of annual expedition parties, looking past the Nissen Huts used for storage and down the isthmus past the radio and meteorology offices, with the main part of the island beyond.

From an old slide, going ashore by DUKW from the "Nella Dan" at Macquarie Island, December 1967

First send someone in front to get the seals out of the way! From an old Kodachrome slide.
