28/7/2006 - Pictures of Mount Barrow and Mount Barrow Falls
As mentioned in my previous post, I have not managed to get any Barrow pics organised. While I had hoped to use my own photos, a quick search on the Internet found a couple of photos that beat anything I have to offer hands down...
I now know the National Library of Australia have a good collection of historic photos available on-line. Among these are photos of... you guessed it... Mount Barrow and Mount Barrow Falls.
Mount Barrow by Frank Hurley
Mount Barrow Falls by Stephen Spurling
Do the photographers' names ring a bell? Hurley is best known for accompanying Sir Ernest Shackleton on his infamous expedition to Antarctica and the amazing Southern Ocean rescue that followed. I am not so familiar with Spurling's work. There is a Mount Spurling just west of the Mountains of Jupiter on Tasmania's Central Plateau. I guess this was named after him?
