Water Restrictions

We've been on restrictions for about a week now - they started as: no clothes washing and extremely short showers; but since the water lines went through a cycle of freezing, thawing and freezing again, they've changed to doing everything with buckets.

The washing machines are filled using large buckets and toilet cisterns with small ones. Luckily there's still enough water in the pipes for the kitchen, showers and making beer. Yes, the services are more important than the people's needs.

I'm heading out on the second half of field training shortly, so there'll be some new photos posted then. In the mean time, here is a photo of the Antarctic Division's Airbus that's used to fly between Hobart and the continent.

We don't get them sortsa flying things 'round these parts.
