    Heard Island Postmasters


    Further to my last blog, some readers may know that I have been writing an encyclopaedia of Antarctic philately. As a part of this I have been trying to document the people who have been postmasters at the Australian Antarctic bases. I will publish all these in coming blog posts, but here is what I know of the Postmasters during expeditions to Heard Island:

    • 1947 Stuart Campbell (Round Trip)

    • 1946 Louis E Macey

    • 1949 Dr. Robert W Allison

    • 1950 J. Harry Vause

    • 1951 Kevin Johnston

    • 1952 Jim Carr

    • 1953 John M Béchervaise

    • 1954 Danny Sweetensen

    • 1955 - 1984 not operational (N.O.)

    • 1985 Lynn Williams Summer 85-86

    • 1986 Rod Ledingham Summer 86-87

    • 1987 Eric Woehler Summer 87-88

    If anyone knows of mistakes or additions, then please drop me a line at p-6-1-B-at-protonmail-dot-com - or via this website.

    I've already published in previous blogs a list of Postmasters at:
