Australia took Wilkes Station over from the USA in 1959. When it became evident that Wilkes would be buried by deepening ice, work was commenced on Repstat in 1964. It was renamed to Casey Station when it became fully operational in February 1969, when the old Wilkes station was decommissioned. Casey station is a permanent base in Antarctica managed by the Australian Antarctic Division (AAD). It is located at 66° 17' S, 110° 32' E on Vincennes Bay[?]. The purpose of Casey Station is for Conservation, Environment, Industrial or Scientific Research, Surveying or Mapping and Earth Sciences.
