Captain Hurley, who was the official photographer of the Mawson Antarctic expedition, lately visualised the South Polar lands ablaze with the lights of numerous hotels for tourists. Within 20 years, he believed, improved means of transport would place this region so near to southern centres of population that week-end tours would be quite popular. Methods of fast upper air travel, foreshadowed by the Junker experimental aeroplane, would bring the Antarctic within six or seven hours of Hobart. It would then be, he said, not a mysterious land where explorers suffered the greatest hardships, but an alluring playground in one of the most beautiful parts of the world.
