Ink Pink You Stink
That was the saying when I was at primary school. So after 14 days do I stink??
Well if you read the accounts of Mawson & Co who tragically ended up having to eat his dogs, you could say that he’d look at me as a yummy poodle.
I like to keep clean and I have an arsenal of wet wipes, deodorant, sorbolene cream for feet, toothpaste, Listerine tabs, purell gel for my hands. I like to smell and feel clean at the expense of lugging the extra weight around every day. Mawson personifies the tough explorer huskie, I’m more the modern day explorer poodle.
I am still prancing around this tough terrain and smelling good in the process.

Ripper day at the office. 3.18K clawed back.
Hard yards no doubt but it looks like you are getting better rewarded now.
Hoping the conditions get better every day.
Excellent work.
G’day MG, has the surface got any better for pulling the sled?? Now it goes like this: Ink Pink, Pen & Ink, I can smell a great big stink – and it comes from YOU!! Remember now? I think Lise told you about our new family member “Chilli” is her name and she’s a cross between a Pomeraniam and a Border Collie – think there was a bikkie tin in there somewhere!! She has dug up about 10 bones from the Harry era and a possum who croaked it about 18 months ago. Jan is taking her for a walk now. Take care TG & Jan

Georgie,
Just back from getting the boat to Sydney ready for the start of the Sydney to Hobart and after a mere 5 days without a shower and a change of clothes l was feeling rather shabby and here you are trekking to the South Pole looking and smelling like you are going out drinking.
Keep trekking mate, sounds like it is incredibly tough, but so are you. Also remember how strong ants are….
