    "Heading South" consists of the two artworks "Seals and Penguins" (1998) and "The Bernacchi Tribute" (2002) by artist Stephen Walker.

    Photographer, scientist and writer Louis Bernacchi set sail for Antarctica on the Southern Cross in 1898 and became the first Australian to winter there. The statue shows him taking a selfie with his husky Joe. He was part of Robert Scott's expedition in 1901.


    A plaque on the rock behind commemorates explorer James Clark Ross, who sailed to Antarctica from Hobart in 1840.
