I like coming in here but this time it looked a bit in need of a clean up and refurbishment. There is also a new box by the door asking for a $2 donation. Perhaps for the refurb?

It was so interesting to discover plant life which for most people could never be seen any other way than in pictures. Not many people get to visit arctic regions, so this is your second best choice!

We spent a cold but interesting 5 minutes in the chilled display room. A great wall mural depicts a Macquarie Island landscape and the audio of sea birds, penguins and seals etc adds to the experience. The subAntarctic plants growing therein are interesting, amazing how they can survive on only a few hours of sunlight. Also, the constant cold wind indicates the hard ships faced by the historical explorers like Douglas Mawson. A two dollar coin donation is suggested. Worth a quick look.
