There were two points in the Jane Strategic Direction that decided the future of the Link: establish postgraduate options and complete the Horton Link. The latter goes without saying, but this reimagining of the Horton Link Project was the perfect opportunity to increase our postgraduate offerings.

The Horton Link you see today is now home to three modern, self-contained apartments so popular that they were rented even before they were finished. Each apartment comes with a queen- sized bed, television, bathroom, laundry facilities and kitchen with cooking utensils. LIBERTAS 4

BREAKING THE ICE

For the next three months, I was Science Officer aboard the FV Janas. The strict rules that govern the region require daily catch reporting and reporting of scientific data collection. I also conducted a number of science projects, including fish tagging, sampling and plankton sample collections.

Even on long days, I could enjoy the captivating scenery as it passed by. The sprawling ice floes, towering icebergs and endless horizon would greet me each morning. I saw dancing Adelie penguins, Emperor penguins huddled against the cold, and the occasional Crabeater or Leopard seal lazing on the ice. It was a truly unforgettable experience to see and live in such a hostile place for three months.

This coming summer season I will be attending CCAMLR and commute back to the far south for another trip of a lifetime.

THE JANE ESCAPE

Entrepreneurs often make their way through Jane Franklin Hall, but we challenge you to find a pair like Nick Rose (Resident 2008-2009) and Lauren Scott (Resident 2009-2010), the founders of Hobart’s one and only Escape Room, Evolo.

You may be wondering, what is an Escape Room? An Escape Room, Nick explains, “is essentially a live, team adventure game enclosed in a room or series of rooms”.

The goal of Evolo’s rooms, funnily enough, isn’t necessarily to escape a room. Due to obvious legal In late 2016 they took the plunge, left reasons, Nick and Lauran can’t lock their full-time jobs behind and launched any participants in. Instead, they set Evolo.
