Frank Hurley was once a household name in Australia. Now most famous for his photographs of the Mawson and Shackleton (Endurance) Antarctic expeditions, he was also a visual chronicler of many of the major events of the twentieth century and of a rapidly disappearing non-Western world. He was an official photographer in two world wars, a pioneering documentary-maker, participant in early feats of aviation and cinematographer on major Australian feature films of the 1930s, including The Squatter's Daughter and The Silence of Dean Maitland. In his later years, he travelled the length and breadth of his country to produce illustrated books that eulogised Australia and its people.

Alasdair McGregor was a painter, photographer and one-time architect but also a celebrated author of monographs and books on the Australian landscape. He is the author of The Kimberley: Horizons of Stone and Australia's Wild Islands as well as Mawson's Huts: An Antarctic Expedition Journal.  He was artist and photographer for three AAP Mawson's Huts Foundation expeditions to Antarctica.
