Looking for info on the Wilkes Piano

A message from Barbara Frankel:

'...I recall reading (or someone telling me) about a piano frozen into a room at Wilkes, and that it could still be seen through the crystal clear ice that now fills the room. Can anyone tell me where this is recorded, or remembers seeing it, or has photos?

My father (Ted Smith) is collecting stories about musical instruments down south – he was responsible for getting a piano to Signey in the 1960’s with BAS (while he was Chief Biologist) and wants to find more references to instruments, particularly pianos. There isn’t much in  ‘The Silence Calling’, so please point me in the right direction!...'

Looking for AAE decendents
from Sydney morning Herald

Flip (Hurley) Byrnes, the great granddaughter of Antarctic photographer Frank Hurley got in contact with The Diary a couple of days ago to tell us that in December, the 100th anniversary of Douglas Mawson's 1911 expedition, there is to be a centenary dinner in Tasmania and that as many relatives as possible of the crew members are invited to attend. But the thing is they're really, really hard to find. ''Many of them have a life 'Unknown' after the expedition,'' Byrnes told us. ''A surprising number had no children, which means I am digging back 100 years to find siblings. In particular, I am searching for relatives of Charles Laseron, died 1959, and Walter Hannam, died 1964, both Sydneysiders. It would be fantastic to have these Australian explorers represented. How sad, only 100 years on, if nobody is there to fly the flag for their exploits.'' Let us know
