Children overboard affair

	Douglas Mawson
		In 1907, Mawson joined an expedition to Antarctica led by Ernest Shackleton, as a scientific officer, and was one of the first to ascend Mount Erebus and get close to the South magnetic pole.
		A disastrous turn of luck led to his enduring several weeks alone with minimal supplies, after the loss of his companions, and on his return he was too late to be picked up by ship and was forced to remain in Antarctica until early 1914.
		Mawson pursued his academic studies, taking further expeditions abroad, including a joint British, Australian and New Zealand expedition to the Antarctic in 1929-1931.

		Mawson believed strongly in an architectural / structural approach to gardening and in many of his gardens the planting is very much subordinate to the structure.

		Mawson contends the commission erred in ruling (1) that she was not disabled by her work injury, (2) that she failed to prove a quantifiable loss of capacity of both legs, and (3) that she did not suffer total and permanent disability from her work injury.
		Groble, a psychiatrist, "rated [Mawson's] loss of legs at 100% in regard to her ability to work" and reported she is "unable to work in any gainful employment," he indicated this condition flowed from "chronic intractable back pain" and gave no ratable loss that could be separately identified to each leg.
		Groble reported that Mawson had a "history of psychiatric problems that had its onset subsequent to a work related back injury in 1988," the commission found from other evidence in the record that Mawson's psychiatric disability predated her work injury.

		He was nearly killed on one of these trips, when one of the men with him fell down a crevasse.

		Mawson had to contend not only with the death in a crevasse of his companion Ninnis, but had to witness the slow descent into madness and death of his other companion, Mertz, then made his way hundreds of miles back to his base at Cape Dennison, surviving on left over scraps and eating his dogs.
		An experienced polar explorer, Mawson began with a party of two others, but eventually the group of three was reduced to the indefatigible Mawson alone.
		Bickel's rendition of Mawson's solitary struggle is based on Mawson's own journals of a story that deserves a place ahead of all the accounts of Scott and Shakleton.

		That day in 1907 as Douglas Mawson stood for the first time with Ernest Shackleton on the Antarctic continent, little did he dream that his name would live on in the annals of Antarctic exploration and scientific achievement on this cold unforgiving, yet un-imaginably beautiful continent.
		Mawson's exploits and achievements are well documented, read, held in the highest esteem and needing no further adulation.
		Mawson Station, renowned amongst those fortunate enough to have wintered there as the "Premier Station of the South", has a history of scientific endeavours that has set Australia, its wintering scientists and logistic personnel, in the fore front in all spheres of Polar Science and Marine Biology.
