His garden at Collaroy Plateau was full of Australian plants.<\/p>\n<p>Manly Art Gallery <span class=\"amp\">&amp;<\/span>&nbsp;Museum has commissioned Gael Newton, formerly Senior Curator of Photography at the National Gallery of Australia, and her partner Paul Costigan, to bring together this exciting exhibition. As part of their research they have already uncovered stories about how Frank Hurley was seen gathering wild flowers around Collaroy in the&nbsp;1950s.<\/p>\n<p>The gallery is now reaching out to ask if any long-term residents know of other stories or have information about this famous Australian and his search for plants along the Northern Beaches.<\/p>\n<p>Up till now Frank Hurley has been famous for his exploits in both world wars, for his journeys to the Antarctica, and through his films and photographs.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibition presents a&nbsp;wonderful opportunity for the Northern Beaches to claim him back as a&nbsp;local celebrity and as part of the garden history of the&nbsp;area.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any information on Frank Hurley and his life in Collaroy Plateau \u2013 or know of anyone else who may be able to assist, please contact Katherine Roberts, Manly Art Gallery <span class=\"amp\">&amp;<\/span>&nbsp;Museum on (02) 9976 1418 or
