A cover from Casey

A cover from the Casey - Australian Antarctic base 

The Casey Station, commonly called Casey, is one of three permanent bases and research outposts in Antarctica managed by the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD). 

Casey lies on the northern side of the Bailey Peninsulaoverlooking Vincennes Bay on the Budd Coastof Wilkes Land in the Australian Antarctic Territory, a territory claimed by Australia. Casey is 3,880 kilometres (2,410 mi) due south of Perth, Western Australia.

The current Casey Station headquarters (the "Red Shed") was built in the late 1980s as part of the Australian Government's Antarctic Re-building Program. It was prefabricated in Hobart, Tasmania, by Hobart construction firm, Contas Pty Ltd, trial-erected on the wharf at Hobart, then dismantled, packaged and shipped to Antarctica. Erected at Casey by tradespeople employed as workers on the normal summer expedition crews, it incorporates innovative design features to prevent the transfer of heat through the structure.

The "Shed" is conspicuously located near the top of the hill on which the old radio masts stood. It is probably the largest single structure on Antarctica and was first occupied in 1988. The station has two other sheds, the green shed for storing food and the yellow shed for brewing. Homebrew beer is served at the station's bar, "Splinters".

This cover was self prepared and sent to AAD in time for the departure of Aurora Australis ship for its Casey resupply departure on 22, November 2018 ( as per the schedule on the site ) - the date of arrival at Casey is supposedly 14-12-2018. 

Since the date on the postmark says November 12, 2018- I doubt if the cover has actually travelled to the ice continent !! Maybe it was just postmarked in the AAD and returned back ! 

Maybe I should give another try next year 🤞
