From the moment he ran away from school at just 13, Frank Hurley carved a path as one of the greatest adventurers of all time. A visionary photographer and filmmaker, Hurley journeyed to the farthest corners of the earth, capturing images of people and places few had ever seen. Time and again he risked his life to take pictures that would astonish the world.
Hurley traversed every continent. He made four perilous expeditions to Antarctica, sharing a hut with Douglas Mawson and a tent with Ernest Shackleton. He drove across Australia in 1914 and, five years later, flew on part of the first-ever flight from England to Australia. He ventured deep into the uncharted jungles of New Guinea and Java.
Hurley stood on the front lines of history, capturing some of the most dramatic footage of the First and Second World Wars. As a cinematographer, he helped create some of Australia's most iconic early action films, including the documentary Home of the Blizzard and the epic Forty Thousand Horsemen.
