Under the command of Walter Leonard Jones, this voyage conducted the Macquarie Island relief. During the changeover period construction began of a garage and emergency powerhouse, ozone research laboratory, meteorological store and a drying hut. Botanical and zoological work continued including an investigation of pathological problems in the rabbit population. Journey lasted from Nov. 30 to Dec. 1962. Under the command of Donald Franklin Styles, this voyage visited Dumont d'Urville, relieved Wilkes and visited Macquarie Island on the return voyage. A site was surveyed near Wilkes for a new station. Automatic weather stations at Lewis and Chick Islands were reactivated. The ship was beset for five days on departing Wilkes, and for 11 days on leaving Chick Island for Oates Land. Due to sea ice conditions, Thala Dan achieved less coastal exploration than had been planned. However data were collected in Wilkes Land and George V Land for improving maps of about 1600 km of the coast and 50,000 km2 of the hinterland. Ocean soundings covered 2600 km and astrofixes were made at six points. Journey lasted Dec. 21 1962 to Mar. 11, 1963.
