Antarctic Legends at Hadley’s Orient Hotel

Experience Mawson’s Lunch, a self-guided audio journey that brings to life the story of Sir Douglas Mawson and his expedition members, and visit the Amundsen Room – a creative reimagining of the room where famed Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen stayed following his successful South Pole expedition in 1912.

Together, these experiences offer a glimpse into the remarkable stories, achievements and legacies of two of Antarctica’s most celebrated explorers, all within one of Hobart’s most historic hotels.
