Trip to Central Australia
Album of photographs taken by Theodor Bray, a reporter with 'The Register', during the first tourist bus trip to Central Australia, organised by Percy Bond in June 1927. There were 14 paying tourists and Theodor Bray; the party camped by the side of the buses in dry river beds or wherever they could find a place to pitch tents. The 3-week trip went to Oodnadatta and then on to the Overland Telegraph Station at Barrow Creek. They then returned south, becoming the first vehicles to cross the desert due south of Alice Springs to Coober Pedy. The fleet consisted of two Studebaker 'charabanc' cars with 6 passenger seats, one a 1925 29.4 hp model, the other a 1926 36 hp model, both registered to A.G. Bond of Unley Road, Kingswood. A woman was among the passengers. During the trip Theodor Bray coined the description 'Centralia' for the areas they had visited, a word taken up later by other writers.

Inside Frank Albertoni's original dug-out house, Andamooka
View of the inside of Frank Albertoni's original dug-out house at Andamooka. The photographer comments on the house, "This house was one of the first to be built on the Andamooka Opal fields. It was begun in 1931, at the time of the first discoveries of opal at Andamooka and has seen little alteration or structural change since the time of its construction. The house was built by Mr. Frank Albertoni on a section 189 opposite the main area of town, and is set on the bank of the Opal Creek. Frank Albertoni came to Andamooka with his brother Andrew from Blinman in 1931. Together they worked as opal gougers in the German Gully area. Albertoni died in 1942 and Frank spent the rest of his life living and working in Andamooka. According to those who knew him, Frank Albertoni was a small energetic man who had a knack of improvising and making do - this house bears witness to that. The house was built on three levels and included a living room at the lower level, workshop in the central room and a sleepout on the upper level. The living room and workshop were built in 1931 and the sleepout was built in 1943. The walls are a combination of building techniques, including wattle and daub and dry laid stone construction. Native pine roof members and rafters support a hessian bag and canvas ceiling. The house has been white washed throughout and the floors have, in part, been paved with flagstone. An opal safe has been set into the south wall of the living room and on the opposite wall there is a large stone fireplace, the external flue having been manufactured from kerosene tins. The three rooms are not connected, and access is gained through external doors, the lower of which is protected by a pine and brush verandah. Interconnecting openings through the gable walls provide adequate ventilation."
