There's a cinema film coming to Canberra you really shouldn’t miss. The Great White Whale film has won eight international awards including three Grand prizes. It even won the Audience Choice Award at the recent International Mountain Film Festival in Cervinia Italy, proving that this wonderful true story transcends language barriers. It chronicles the first ascent of Mawson’s Peak on Heard Island in 1964 by an Australian team. They sailed to Heard Island on a small boat skippered by the famous British Explorer Bill Tilman. Its one of the least known yet most audacious Australian adventures of the 20th century. Join me for this movie on those first attempts to climb Big Ben, the smoking glacier ringed volcano on Heard Island, Australia’s loneliest, most remote outpost. It’s a tale told with quirky humour by those who were there, backed up with their beautifully shot archival footage. Paul Jarman’s brilliant musical score pays tribute to the utter boldness of the quest, bringing to life this little known moment in Australian history.
