He visited our school and spoke to students for the first time in Term 3 2007 prior to his voyage to Antarctica over Christmas. He returned in Term 1 this year and presented some of the voyage's discoveries, including some fascinating video footage of sea-life in the depths of the Southern Ocean. He was impressed with the students' level of interest and questioning.
