The Silence Calling – Australians in Antarctica 1947–1997 | Tim Bowden | 1997 [USED – HCDJ]

The official jubilee history of ANARE — the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions — covering fifty years of Australian involvement in Antarctica from 1947 to 1997. Written by Tim Bowden and published to mark the 50th anniversary of Australia's Antarctic program.

Drawing on interviews with expeditioners, scientific records and archival material, Bowden documents the full scope of Australia's Antarctic operations: the early years of establishing stations, the scientific work, the characters who went south, and the culture that developed around Australia's sustained presence on the ice. Mawson, Davis, Casey and Macquarie Island all feature.

At 593 pages this is a substantial and detailed work — the definitive reference on ANARE's first half-century. Out of print and not easy to find.
