Frank Hurley is best known today as a photographer and film maker.
His major documentary films include 'The Home of the Blizzard', 'In
the Grip of the Polar Pack Ice', 'Sir Ross Smith's Flight' and
'Pearls and Savages', while his photographs of Douglas Mawson's
Australasian Antarctic Expedition, Ernest Shackleton's Imperial
Trans-Antarctic Expedition and the two World Wars have been so
widely exhibited and reproduced that in many cases they are the
principal means by which we have come to see those world-historical
events. Yet there is another source, so far little known to the
public, which also gives us a startling sense of the presence of
the past: it is Hurley's voluminous manuscript diaries, only brief
extracts from which have so far been published. Originally written
in the field in Antarctica, South Georgia, England, France, the
Middle East, Papua and Australia, and later raided and revised for
his many publications and stage performances, they have survived
years of world travel and are now carefully preserved in the
archives of the National Library of Australia in Canberra and the
Mitchell Library in Sydney. This illustrated edition of his diaries
presents Frank Hurley in his own words, explores his testimony to
these significant events, and reviews the part he played in
imagining them for an international public.
