About the collection
Frank E Feast collection comprises 530 negatives of photographs taken by Frank Feast in the 1920s and 1930s, his camera, five prints of photographs taken by others, a portrait and five newspaper clippings. In 1920, 1922, 1926 and 1928 Frank Feast accompanied Dr Herbert Basedow, a well-known anthropologist, geologist and explorer on four historically important expeditions to central Australia and northern Australia. On the three latter expeditions he recorded daily accounts in his journal. Feast's journal reflects different experiences and documents the expeditions from the point of view of someone responsible for essential tasks including feeding members and looking after horse and camel teams. The photographs and journal are a valuable record of these expeditions as well as travelling in remote areas in Australia in the early twentieth century.
