David Blaby, Antarctic veteran expeditioner, journeyed to Casey Base in 1969 one year after the Australian base was opened. As an experienced Diesel Mechanic his job was to keep the base running. David recounts how his Antarctic saga came about and the many adventures, some rather bizarre, that followed.
Of special interest to other veterans is his first-hand account of the origins of that famous Australian tradition called “Cook’s Resignation Day”.
