Victoria University Antarctic Research Expedition Science and Logistics Reports 1990-91: VUWAE 35

(i)	Toboggan - worked well when required, issued with a box sledge and Tamworth sledge to take our gear out to experimental sites from the wannigan. Due to the length of our equipment, it has proved vital to have a Tamworth to transport it on the ice. The fixed bar on the Tamworth was also essential.
(ii)	Helicopter - the helicopter trip of 29 October was very successful. The weather was very good, sunny with no wind, and we were able to visit 3 different sites in McMurdo Sound. Two sites were similar to each other and a third near the ice edge on thin ice was somewhat different. We had no problems, the crew were very helpful and we got all that we intended done.
