Grey nomads seeking a small taste of life in Antarctica (or sub-Antarctic places such as Macquarie Island) should head to the Hobart waterfront to enjoy this much-loved biennial event. Produced by the Mawson’s Huts Foundation, the first two days of the festival focus on an educative program and is a favourite destination for school groups. The weekend then opens to the public with most events and exhibitions being free-of-charge. There will be interactive displays and exhibits from the Australian Antarctic Division and CSIIRO; and the chance to stroll among much of the equipment used in the harsh Antarctic environment.
