Unlikely as it may seem, an exact replica of Mawson's Huts has been created on a prime site near the Hobart waterfront by the Mawson's Huts Foundation (which also is busily restoring and preserving the original structures at Commonwealth Bay, Antarctica). The idea is that this will be accessible to many more people. We passed the site just a week before it was due to open on 2 December 2013, the 102nd anniversary of the sailing of the original Australasian Antarctic Expedition led by Mawson. Unfortunately it was very much a construction site at that stage, with safety considerations preventing uninvited visitors.... But I managed to photograph the fence. :) Happy Fence Friday!
