An attempt to take a monochrome slide of the 25 people at Casey in March 1972 just before Senior Plant
Inspector Roy Waring (second row up facing to
his left) was to be picked up by helicopter and returned to Australia. In mid-February he was seriously injured in
a tractor accident (broken leg, smashed foot). The Nella Dan was on its way from Mawson back to Australia
with the wintering party from that station. The Senior Plant Inspector from Mawson, Ray Mitchell, had volunteered
to spend another year in Antarctica (without break) to take Roy's place.
One of the problems faced in Antarctica is that of going outside when it is a little cold. This is the
result of Graham Henstridge spending a few minutes outside in the wind.
A group of people getting ready to photograph something. (I cannot remember what!)
Murray Price - the Casey Official Cameraman for 1972 hard at work. When not doing this, he was our plumber.
An interesting shot of a few of us looking at a sunset. Yes, that is a dog - Suzie. This was before
they decided that all dogs must leave Antarctica.
