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.
