Down South - Australian Tradies in Antarctica

The great explorer, Sir Douglas Mawson, led the first Australian Antarctic Expedition (AAE) 100 years ago this year. One of the activities celebrating a centenary of Australia's involvement and Mawson's historic achievements is a photographic exhibition Down South, which tells the stories of the fabulous men and women who have ventured to the Antarctic from 1947 to the 1980’s.

Susan Gordon-Brown, the photographer, has spoken to 25 tradespeople and photographed them as they are now, aged between 50 and 90 years old. You are invited to learn more about this successful touring exhibition which is a combination of these portraits and their stories, as written by Gayl O’Connor.
