Hi,


I'm just a new ANARE member (artist on V7 2002) My partner (V7 2002, V4
2004) and I have two furnished rooms for rent in our home in Newtown.
Presently we cave a very affable Australian Chinese student from NSW Uni
living in one room and the other has recently become available.

It occurred to  me as I was writing up an add to paste on our local shop
- 'suit purposeful, independent, resourceful soul, that it sounded like
an intrepid expeditioner! So...

I wondered if it might be of interest to anyone in ANARE? Do you put
notices like this up I wonder??

We usually eat together, but shop and cook independently. There is a
large area of common living space and a native garden in the front and
back (with frogs).

Rent is $125 pw plus bills.

Please let me know if I need to do to have a notice lodged with you more
formally.


Cheers,
And see you at the dinner.

Lisa

Hello
 
My name is Tom Hamann and I am currently the Winterover Housing
Coordinator at McMurdo Station Antarctica.
I have founded a group called the Antarctic Vexillological Association and
am very interested in obtaining a copy of the flag/pennant of the ANARE that
I have seen on the internet, depicting the boomerang and leopard seal. 
How would I go about purchasing one?

Best Regards,

Tom Hamann

The video is no longer on the ABC or Roadshow distribution list and I have had no luck to date locating where I can get a copy in Australia. Can you assist in any way?

Dear All,

I received an email from Jon Soyka in Ontario, Canada. He is producing a television documentary on ice yachts and was interested in further information on the ice yachts at Mawson. He wrote:

What interests me is -

a/ How do I obtain photographs, or even better, video footage of people enjoying their rides on the ice-boat at the south pole area?

b/ Is there a way to contact former members who have had this experience? This vessel is of ourse recognized as the most southerly sailing on earth of an ice-boat (Ice-boats are used in some 23 countries around the world and were invented in Holland in the 1600's) and such needs to be mentioned in the documentary.

c/ Who build the boat in the first instance and I do believe it was damaged, has it been re-built?

What is the boat named?

Are photos available (or video) of the boat being built?

What charges are incurred in getting good copies of the photos or video?

What permissions are needed, and who are they obtained from, for copyright purposes in  order to use the images and information in the documentary?

I also wondered if there have been any other ice yachts at the antarctic bases other than the two at Mawson in the 1990s.

If anyone has any information that they'd be happy to pass on would they please email Jon on jonsoyka@mountaincable.net. I'd also be interested so please cc it to me as well (ingridmcg@optusnet.com.au)

Thanks

I am a book designer currently working on a book by Roff Smith about people and places in Antarctica. I am currently looking for an image for the cover... my initial research has mainly only found shots of penguins and icebergs. We are looking for something that conveys the comraderie of those working in Antarctica. Perhaps a small group shot outside a hut or or a small group working outside. It might be quite a fun snap or a more serious image. The book is being published by a major Australian publisher and is for wide distribution. We will pay a fee for a suitable image. If anyone has any appropriate images I would love to hear from them. I can be contacted at email: philc@eis.net.au or 03 9429 1151.

Regards,

Phil Campbell

School/Public Speakers

 

Calling All Expeditioners!

 

Are you interested in giving talks on Antarctica to schools or community groups in your area?

Then Nick Lovibond (Antarctic Division) wants you!  Nick occasionally gets inquiries for speakers from around Australia, and is very keen to compile an availability list.  Nick writes:

 

 The favourite topic for younger school classes is usually wildlife, but "What I did when I worked in Antarctica" is always popular.  Generally, just to have been to Antarctica is qualification enough - perhaps the most frequently asked question is "What's it like there?"   We are usually able to provide you with brochures and posters for your visit.  A look through our website might also help – our new magazine Australian Antarctic is available online and has a good collection of news and current issues.

 

The overall idea is to have a geographically diverse list of willing speakers - the more the merrier, with several in the bigger population centres.  Hopefully past expeditioners will be happy to join the list – you can always say 'no' if Nick does contact you, and you're not likely to hear from him very often. Nick is very conscious of privacy concerns, and won’t give out your details – rather, after finding a willing soul, he would ask him/her to contact the inquirer.

 

So, if you are interested in sharing your experiences and tales of derring-do on an ad hoc basis, please register your details with Nick.  He needs your geographic region (ie as well as an address), your contact phone/email and the best time to ring/email. 

 

He can be contacted thus:

Diary of Lt Adams RN

1/6/00

The Bureau of Meteorology is seeking a

diary by Lt Adams RN written on the "Fatherest South Sledging Trip" of

Ernest Shackleton's expedition 1907-09. The diary is an original record of

the meteorological observations taken on that journey.

Apparently it was in the Bureau's possession in 1929 and an analysis of the

data was written, but the whereabouts of the original diary is a mystery.

Regards

Rod Hutchinson

SLIDES OF WOMEN IN ANTARCTICA.

I often give talks about the Hell of Antarctica to Year 7 and 8 kids at high school, but all my slides are of a MCP era (Mawson 1970), and there were no women south then.  I emphasise that there are nowdays lots of opportunities down south for women, as well for as men, and I would like to show a slide or two of  a woman working outdoors, in less than pleasant conditions - just to show than not only CAN it be done, but it IS done. If anyone would like to donate such a slide or two to the cause please contact me

at work on 03 9524 2277, at home on 03 5784 2041, or email

tomkins.bob@a2.abc.net.au. Many thanks.
