Hindsight - Red Dust Travellers
The Archive and Museum has recently had the privilege to be been involved in sharing information by making accessible rare film footage, photographs and arranging interviews for a documentary on the history of tourism to the centre of Australia. Follow the link to the ABC Radio National - Hindsight - Red Dust Travellers program. There you can listen to a pod cast of the whole program or view the rare KGS film – Red Horizon – the story of the 1950 Expedition to Ayres Rock. The producer Sean O’Brian has virtually given the film a new soundtrack by overlaying the recollections of Mr Edric Chaffer (OKG '50) an original participant of the expedition interview over the 1950’s colour footage. There is also a photo gallery that documents the expedition.
