With the monoplane too badly damaged for further attempts at flight, Mawson ordered Bickerton to convert it into an " air-tractor " which would then be used for hauling supplies and for exploration during the expedition.

Mawson Station is one of three permanent Australian bases in the Australian Antarctic Territory of East Antarctica.

Named after Antarctic explorer Sir Douglas Mawson, the base is managed by the Australian Antarctic Division ( AAD ).

Established in 1954, Mawson is Australia's oldest Antarctic station and the oldest continuously inhabited Antarctic station south of the Antarctic Circle.

Mawson Station is located at Holme Bay in Mac Robertson Land, East Antarctica, named in January 1930 by Sir Douglas Mawson during the first British Australian and New Zealand Antarctic Research Expedition ( BANZARE ) voyage, aboard Discovery.

It is in a region which Mawson proclaimed as British territory on several occasions in 1930 and 1931 ( including at Proclamation Island, Scullin Monolith and Cape Bruce ), and later became Australian Antarctic Territory.

A 1969 study by Sir John Cleland and R. V. Southcott of the University of Adelaide concluded that the symptoms Mawson described — hair, skin and weight loss, depression, dysentery and persistent skin infections — indicated the men had suffered hypervitaminosis A, an excessive intake of vitamin A. Vitamin A is found in unusually high quantities in the livers of Greenland Dogs, of which both Mertz and Mawson consumed large amounts ; indeed, as Mertz's condition deteriorated, Mawson may have given him more of the liver to eat, believing it to be more easily digested.
