Did you watch her leave, George? If so, how did you feel knowing that she wouldn't be back for a year?

tiabunna replied to Old Owl:

Yes, I had been on morning shift and took this and a few other photos as she departed. At that stage, having been on board since leaving Melbourne in late December, including working for a few weeks on the construction of what became Casey, it was just a relief to have the base to ourselves and to be able to get on with what we had signed up for.
