2023 - HAL Noordam Cruise #1 - Auckland to Sydney - Hobart Tasmania - 46 of 49

            Mawson's Huts Replica Museum in central Hobart.

The Museum was built to raise funds for ongoing conservation of the historic buildings at Cape Denison, used as the main base for the 1911-14 Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE).

A statue of two huskies commissioned by the Mawson’s Hut Foundation and crafted by Claremont-based sculptor Dan Tucker are standing in front of the museum.

Mawson took a 50 strong husky team on the Australasian Antarctic expedition of 1911-14.

The two dogs cast in bronze are Basilisk the leader of the pack and Alexandra, his faithful companion.

The two were inseparable and tragically died harnessed together with four other huskies when they plunged down a crevasse with their handler Belgrave Ninnis. 

The museum is on the Hobart waterfront 200 metres from where Douglas Mawson’s expedition departed from in 1911.

The Replica also serves as an educational facility and promotes the legacy of the AAE.

Having defied over a century of the world’s most fierce winds at sea level, the original hut still stands clinging to the edge of the vast ice sheet of the polar plateau in Commonwealth Bay, East Antarctica. 

The huts are regarded as the birthplace of Australia’s Antarctic heritage and hold a unique place in Australian history. 

The huts are of national and international heritage significance, being one of only six remaining sites from the “heroic era” of Antarctic exploration (1898 to 1916), and are also the only surviving site from an Australian Antarctic expedition during that period.
