- "Between December and March each year, at the height of the brief Antarctic summer, the Australian National Antarctic Research Expedition relief ship Kista Dan visits the three Australian Antarctic Scientific Research stations on Heard and Macquarie Island and at Mawson on the Antarctic mainland. In March 1955, ANARE closed for the time being its station on Heard Island which had been in operation since December 1947. It was not dismantled, but left in apple pie order to be reopened at a moment's notice. One of the last jobs before leaving was to obtain ten penguins as specimens in the bilogical programme which is carried out on all ANARE stations"--Printed on label on verso.
