The Western Base Party was a successful exploration party of the Australasian Antarctic Expedition. The eight-man Western Party was deposited by the SY Aurora on the Shackleton Ice Shelf at Queen Mary Land.[1] The leader of the team was Frank Wild and the party included the geologist Charles Hoadley.
The party established the Queen Mary Land Station. An early setback was the destruction of the radio mast in the first blizzard.[1] Severe weather impeded activities as did dangerous crevices. The team sent an expedition into Kaiser Wilhelm II Land.
The party had no supplies for a second winter. The Western Base Party was collected on February 23, 1913, by the Aurora, with no loss of life.[1]
