A fascinating re-creation of Douglas Mawson’s original expedition hut at Cape Denison, Commonwealth Bay in East Antarctica. The men of the 1911-14 Australasian Antarctic Expedition wintered over here, in one of the most remote and ferociously cold and windy locations on earth.
The lawns of the Museum hosts family day, while the interior of the museum is a remarkable immersive experience, full of authentic artefacts and equipment from this historic expedition.
Meet working sled dogs and speak with team members from Sled Dog Adventures Tasmania on the history of sled dogs.
We kindly ask attendees to refrain from taking their own dogs near the working sled dog team.
