The New Adventure Begins

Departure day has come and another adventure waits at the top of the gangway. We're shipping out and heading south and I'll be away for another 12 months.

The job as BOM technician is essentially the same as last time, but there's extra equipment for me to work on this time around and the other roles I'm taking on are different. I'll be assisting with the brewing this time around; seem to have ended up with the job of organising various amenities such as merchandise and general entertainment; one of the station hairdressers and a mischief maker.

Next post will be made on the ice, somewhere around Casey.

Here We Go Again


Apparently 12 months in the middle of the Southern Ocean wasn't enough as I'm now taking the next step and going to Antarctica, for another 12 months. Again, no promises as to how often this blog is updated or the accuracy of what is put in here.

Oh, a disclaimer is needed, just in case anyone from the media happens to read this thing: Anything on this blog is my own skewed opinion of the world and in no way reflects the views of either the Australian Antarctic Division nor the Bureau of Meteorology.

Ew, I feel dirty having put that in.

Enjoy reading, or don't, if I don't post.
