The roots of travel II

Dear fellow Flynn fans,

here are three reconstructed clips from the film “Pearls and Savages” of Frank Hurley about his New Guinea adventures from 1921-1923:

Errol was merely a teenager when these silent films hit movie theaters all over Down Under.

They sparked the imagination of a whole continent. An Aussie penny for your thoughts on what might have served as an inspiration for Young Errol.

Do you detect any recurring themes of Errol`s later life? Are there any parallels to his voyage to NG at all?

Let`s all wear a Fedora hat as thinking cap. Each entry will receive the honorary Dr. Australia Jones- Award.

Enjoy,
