160_Two_Years_at_Mawson_Station

Bob Dovers does sterling OIC work setting the rhythm and mode of Mawson Station winters, though at considerable cost to his health. John Bechervaise continues in the grooves established by Dovers, cementing Australia's toehold in the cold and the meson telescopes in place. Phillip Law goes in to bat against bureaucrats cratting for all their bureau's worth and manages to keep the focus on science, though some of his ideas about what to do with an Australian territorial claim once his efforts have gained some traction for one are a bit odd in a present day context. A busy 1954 and 1955 for ANARE, though I couldn't find much about what the Mawson Station winterers got up to during their southern sojourn.
