Comments

Thala Dan called into MI on 6 Jan 71 to collect the body of B, Sellick MI 71 who was killed in a fall from Tottan Head on 2 Jan 71. The voyage was delayed by pack ice near Casey, which reduced the time for changeover. Casey was resupplied and restaffed, geological and biological surveys were undertaken on local rock exposures and some off-shore islands, meteorological equipment was repaired. Thala Dan was taken to Hobart, instead of Melbourne, to expedite redelivery to the French at Dumont d'Urville. The small summer party at Macquarie Island was picked up by the French on their return voyage from Dumont d'Urville to Hobart later in the season
