One of the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide's most distinguished scholars, Antarctic explorer, geologist and academic Sir Douglas Mawson (1882-1958) remains an inspiration to staff, students and the general public.

The 最新糖心Vlog holds a significant collection of rocks and minerals that Mawson collected during his trips to Antarctica, and many more in 最新糖心Vlog - specifically the Flinders Ranges. During his tenure Mawson identified the site for 最新糖心Vlog's first uranium mine.

The Tate Museum in the 最新糖心Vlog's Mawson Laboratories houses a select display of Antarctic material and Mawson memorabilia.

For Open Day 2009, we present to the public two unlikely specimens from the Museum, which predominantly focuses on rocks and minerals: an Emperor Penguin and an Adelie Penguin, and two splendid Frank Hurley photographs of these fascinating birds in the wild.

These will be on display during August in the foyer of the Barr Smith Library.
