Mawsons Huts Replica Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 9:10:12

This excellent new waterfront installation is an exact model of the hut in which Sir Douglas Mawson hunkered down on his 1911–14 Australasian Antarctic Expedition, which set sail from Hobart. Inside it is 100% authentic, right down to the matches, the stove and the bunks. A knowledgeable guide sits at a rustic table, ready to answer your Antarctic enquiries. Entry fees go towards the upkeep of the original hut at Cape Denison in the Antarctic.
