All in a normal day for Mawson Station..
(Part 3 of 3)
Saturday 15th January 2000

During
the year the 1999 Winterer's had enjoyed watching the ABC's Seachange
program so much that they formed a "Mawson Seachange fan club".

The
Mawson Seachange Fan club - note the reflection on the TV screen.
When
the ABC heard about the club, they arranged for the latest series
to be sent down on Voyage 2. This was a risky operation since the
package of tapes had to be prepared and sent before the programs
actually aired on TV, so the box of tapes was put under heavy guard
until it left on the Aurora.
As
soon as it arrived, we unpacked the tapes and each Monday night
sat down and watched two episodes. To mark the gift from the ABC,
the Mawson Seachange Fan club posed outside for a photo.
Every
Friday afternoon a "Friday drinks" session is held in a different
location around the station. Often there is an unofficial competition
to try and think of a more unusual place to hold Friday Drinks.
Some
of the more unusual ones are :
