Description : |
Press correspondent AC Kinnear taking cine photographs of members of a South Australian Government expedition sent to the Simpson Desert to search for possible remains of explorer Ludwig Leichhardt. The expedition was mounted to examine relics found near Mount Dare Station by station owner Edwin Lowe. The site of their excavation was named 'Ritchie's Ridge' in honour of the Chief Secretary of South Australia at that time, Sir George Ritchie. AC Kinnear acted as both the communications officer, and cinematographer for the expedition. Kinnear had recently produced a series of colour films documenting South Australia. A selection of those, and Search for Leichhardt are available through the National Film and Sound Archive. |
