Artefacts missing from Mawson’s Hut in the Antarctic since 1971 are on their way back to Tasmania after being discovered at a New York auction house. A spoon used by Sir Douglas Mawson and two planks of wood carrying the Australian Antarctic Exploration insignia were listed for auction at New York’s Swann Art Gallery earlier this year.
