Robert “Rusty” Yost

1948 – 2025

Senior Diesel Mechanic, Mawson 1980, Casey 1983

Much admired by his colleagues for his calm nature, dedication to his work, his selflessness and his sense of fun, Rusty will be greatly missed by his colleagues.  Rusty was a vital member of the Mt King traverse team in 1980, and the Casey Spring Glaciology traverse team in 1983.  Great memories of a great man, a wonderful comrade, one in a million.
