Copied from an old slide and posted (too small) long ago. The good ship Nella Dan leaving the dock and heading down the Yarra River, December 1965, Melbourne. Next stop Antarctica. The cloud has continued to thicken since the earlier shots of the ship at the wharf preparing to depart.

Updated from my original posting and originally on F..r. I'd been copying some old slides. For many years, the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) used WWII amphibious army vehicles known as DUKWS as cargo lighters. Here one is being loaded on the Nella Dan.

Updated from my original posting (and originally on F..r). I'd been copying some old slides. This is the Lauritzen Lines ship MV Nella Dan, on contract to the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) preparing to depart for Antarctica in late December 1965 with me on board. HFF and best wishes for the weekend, everyone.
