  8. Introduction of Speaker

    Dr Phil Harding introduced Dr Brian Brophy as an appropriate choice for speaker for the AGM as a neurosurgeon who had wintered in Antarctica. He noted that it was difficult to ignore the presence of Douglas Mawson at the University of Adelaide, and invited Dr Brophy to address the audience on "Douglas Mawson and the Far East Antarctic Journey 1912-1913".

    Speaker: Dr Brophy gave an insightful picture of Mawson's early life and interest in exploring Antarctica. After describing a trip to the South Magnetic Pole and interactions with Robert Scott, he gave background information on Ninnis and Mertz. With some original photographs, he described the ill-fated Far East Antarctic journey, and covered the ravages of illness that befell Mawson towards the end of his trip. He then considered the likely diagnosis of toxic Vitamin A levels. After discussing sources of vitamin A, he spoke of the later BANZARE expedition. One audience member recalled seeing Mawson in 1942 at Adelaide University. Many and varied questions emanated from this most interesting presentation, eliciting some fascinating information from the speaker. The audience showed appreciation by applause.

    Vote of thanks: Dr Harding thanked Dr Brophy for a talk on a topic of intense interest and noted it was good to be reminded of the exploits of early explorers and their perils, including vitamin A. On behalf of SAMHS, Wayne Sampson presented Dr Brophy with a gift signifying appreciation.
