The Hub of Australia and Beyond: A pictorial guide to South Australia and the Northern Territory

THE HUB OF AUSTRALIA AND BEYOND takes the reader on a tour of Australia's Northern Territory. In April 2007 Thomas Palfy and his wife Susan visited Alice Springs and Darwin. They went to see many tourist attractions in and around the two cities as well as the ones that are located in between ... The illustrations and comments will help those who are familiar with this part of the world to re-live their experiences. Others, who have never been there, might decide one day to visit this unique region of the fifth continent. In September of the same year the Palfys ventured out to South Australia. With the able assistance of the tour guides, they re-discovered the Flinders Ranges and travelled to other tourist attractions in and around Adelaide. This trip was also faithfully recorded in words and in pictures. Photographs of this journey and comments make up the second part of the book. It follows hot on the heels of Thomas Palfy's 'Challenge and Adversity' and 'Captured with the Camera'.

5Review: The Hub of Australia and Beyond  Nov 30, 2008
By Thomas Palfy
ReviewPosted on December 12th, 2007by Sebastian Albu in All News, Australia News, Book Reviews, ReviewsRead 771 times.The Hub of Australia and BeyondIf you have ever kept a journal while traveling, Thomas Palfy’s new book , “The Hub of Australia and Beyond” will probably put the wanderlust back in your shoes. Palfy’s photographic documentation consists of two separate journeys across the fifth continent.The 58-page chronicle begins with an aerial vista of Ayers Rock in Uluru National Park and ends with a picturesque cascade depositing its frothy waters into a river on Australia’s third largest isle, Kangaroo Island.There is much in between. Aside from many photographs of the often hauntingly beautiful landscape, Palfy includes shots of herbaceous flora as well as animals like wallabies, tree frogs, kangaroos and a couple of strange reptiles like the indigenous thorny devil. Among the rest of the 100 images are pictures of fellow travelers as well as old Aboriginal scrawls on rock faces and abandoned mining towns long forgotten.Although the majority of this book comes from film in Palfy’s camera, the written excerpts are portions of letters that he and his wife sent to friends and family during their excursions. This is gives the book a rather warm and personable feel. As you flip through, at times it feels like you might be reading the back of a postcard from a friend.At times, “The Hub of Australia” reads like a travel brochure. Palfy includes the names of his travel guides, hotels and tour companies. This might prove to be useful, however. If you purchase this book you might already be thinking about spending your next holiday exploring the Outback. In that case, toss the book in your pack and maybe you’ll see some of Thomas Palfy’s photographs in person.You can purchase The Hub of Australia and Beyond @:www.amazon.com
