Prepare to be enchanted by the allure of the Antarctic as we invite you to the Mawson's Huts Foundation Gala! Join us for an evening including a three-course sit- down dinner and open bar. With special musical guest and keynote speaker Alice Giles. Alice is a world class harpist , Australian Antarctic Arts Fellow and the granddaughter of Cecil Madigan one of Mawson's men! There will also be a live and silent auction where every bid is a step towards preserving history and protecting our planet's fragile Antarctic heritage, with all proceeds going to the Mawson's Huts Foundation. The auction will include a cruise for two to Antarctica leaving from Hobart that includes visiting the Huts at Cape Denison, luxury flights over Antarctica, and many more amazing items.
