Mawson's Huts Foundation

The Mawson’s Huts Foundation exists to conserve in perpetuity for the Australian people the unique historical buildings known as Mawson’s Huts at Cape Denison on Commonwealth Bay, base for the Australasian Antarctic Expedition of 1911-14 led by Australia’s greatest polar explorer Sir Douglas Mawson. Our fundraising activities include the profits made by our  Mawson's Huts Replica Museum, on the waterfront in Hobart, and now the Australian Antarctic Festival in Hobart, the Australia's gateway to the Antarctic
