Interesting experience! They have alot of info available on it, and the story of the trek and the replica hit set up are very cool.
Only 50 metres from the waterfront, this is a tourist attraction and conservation project designed to teach people about Masons Antarctica expedition. It is a replica of one of the huts constructed by Douglas Mawson and his team on the expedition. On the day we visited, there was a fabulous volunteer in the hut telling us heaps of information and stories about the expedition and she was very interested. $15 for adults, $12 for concession and $5 for children to enter. Money goes to preserving the original huts in Antarctica.
Very well done for a replica. People on site are very knowledgeable and the lady we spoke with had actually been to Mawsons hut in Antarctica, so a first hand account!
Loved this experience! So very well set up and pays a wonderful tribute to the incredibly brave pioneers that achieved what so many others couldn't.
Great museum. Adult entry $15 each. Allow about an hour. Really interesting films from the era. You really get a good feel for the Antarctic Explorer's and their amazing achievements in the harshest conditions in the world.
