Under the command of Phillip Law, this voyage conducted the Wilkes changeover, inspected a site for a new station in the Wilkes area and made the first comprehensive survey of the Wilkes and Oates Land coasts, making it possible to map 480 km of coast and some 52,000 km2 of previously unknown territory. New landings were made at eight places. Mawson's Australasian Antarctic Expedition hut at Cape Denison, Dumont d'Urville and Macquarie Island was also visited. The RAAF flight photographed 1600 km of poorly mapped coast and unknown inland terrain. Heights of the inland plateau were determined, astrofixes were obtained at seven points and geomagnetic observations were made at eight new sites. Of the 14,500 km travelled, 1300 were in ice. This was one of the most successful and profitable voyages of ANARE exploration to date. Journey lasted from Dec. 22, 1961 to Mar. 8, 1962.
