It is a tribute to Douglas Mawson, the pioneer of Australian Antarctic exploration (Douglas Mawson ~ led the Australian Antarctic AAE Expedition from 1911 to 1914). The unique museum building itself is an exact replica of an original hut built in Antarctica, giving a realistic understanding of the harsh conditions of the cold and blizzards that early explorers faced. Inside, the museum provides an immersive and detailed look at life inside the cabin, showcasing artifacts, tools and stories from Mawson’s legendary expeditions.
