About Us
I am a software engineer living and working in Brisbane. I first heard about Douglas Mawson's amazing escape from the crevasse, when I sheltered overnight at Mawson's Hut, while cross-country skiing in the Kosciuszko National Park. Many years later I decided to write a narrative poem about his feat to inspire my children and others.
