Casey Station 1988-1992
Topic: Antarctica

 

Casey Station 1992Antarctica , cold and remote. It seems a long way away, but if you live in Melbourne it's closer than Auckland. Between 1988 and 1992 I spent 18 months working and living at Casey Station. I drove lots of big toys, laid carpet tiles, made big rocks into little rocks at the quarry, drank beer, became a Jolly king, heard lots of penguin jokes, and even did the odd bit of electrical work. I lived in a donga,sea iced things,drank homers and drillers,loved Wenesday nights, joined the corgi club, and for a little while was a tunnel rat. Even on the bad days you could just look out at the icebergs, and go things ain't that bad.Click the pic above to learn what the buildings do or this link for some more antarctic pics. Work in progress I'll do a bit more later .  In memory of "Orby" 1962-2005
