Full description

Work commenced on the original Casey station in 1964 and it was fully operational by February 1969. Casey was a novel concept in Antarctic stations at the time with living and sleeping quarters, and some work buildings, in a straight line and connected on the windward side by an aerodynamic corrugated iron tunnel. All were elevated on scaffolding pipe to allow the flow-through of the violent winds common in the region. The tunnel station was decommissioned, demolished and all parts returned to Australia by 1993.

The final data in this dataset is a polygon shapefile representing the buildings at the original (now called 'old') Casey station. Included also are: (i) other files used to create the final shapefile; and (ii) a Readme file with explanation about the procedure used.

Lineage

Progress Code: completed
Statement: The date in Temporal Coverage (August 1991) is the date of issue of 'Casey Old Station Master Plan Issue No 11', the last master plan showing all the buildings in the shapefile present.

Data time period: 1991-08-01 to 1991-08-01
