Transport

Getting from A to B in Antarctica mainly involved the use of: Ships, Amphibious Vehicles (Larc's) and, Helicopters. Well, that pretty much covers the Land, Sea & Air. Oh! One form of transport that no longer exists are the ever faithful Huskies. We were lucky to have them back then.

Cold steeled Nanok "S" returns to Mawson She encountered a blizzard.

Now for a word of warning !!! You may tire of seeing the Larc V's. haha However, if not for them many pics would not be here for you to view. including the aerial shots because we "Larcies" and the "Flyboys" formed a close relationship.
I am not about to define where or why every shot was taken.
Enough talk !!   The following pics are taken "of" or "from" some form of transport.

Greg Hardie gives us a wave as we cruise down Port Phillip Bay towards Queenscliff.     Training for duties in Antarctica were mainly undertaken in Melbourne.
