The Aurora Australis Foundation works to preserve the legacy of Australia's only locally-built and longest-serving Antarctic icebreaker, the Aurora Australis.
The AAF also supports the preservation and promotion of Australian Antarctic heritage and history.
We are currently fundraising to support a new heritage project to commemorate Australia's history of Antarctic shipping. The intent is to build a display centred around the Antarctic support boat Aurora Australis II and be located on the Hobart waterfront.
We are also developing new projects including an online tour of the Aurora Australis, creating an oral history, photo and film archive for the Aurora Australis.
Our long-term goal is to establish a national Australian Antarctic Museum based in Hobart. Our dream - one day! - is to bring the Aurora Australis back to Australia and Hobart to share this remarkable ship with the nation.
