You may have been through Mawson, the suburb of Canberra, gazed upon Mount Mawson in TAS or maybe even driven down Douglas Mawson Drive in Dubbo NSW (to name a few). But what you may not know is the incredible yarn of Sir Douglas Mawson and his expedition to Antarctica in 1912-13, and why he has his name honoured in so much Australian culture.


Pre WW1, Mawson and a small crew set out on an expedition across the treacherous icy wasteland of Antarctica for a scientific research mission. After a relatively pleasant start the trip quickly took a turn in what would become one of the most hectic stories of mental fortitude and survival you'll ever hear, despite all the luck falling against the odds of making it out of the unexplored land alive. We hope you enjoy this one!
