American, Australian and Canadian and Indian Expeditions to Wallal to Observe the Total Solar Eclipse of 21 September, 1922
Description
The Lick Observatory of California, Perth Observatory, University of Toronto and Kodiakanal Solar Observatory all sent expeditions to remote Wallal after the Commonwealth Government offered to provide transport to and from the location. The local Nyangumarta people assisted the teams greatly and were interested in their expedition. The Lick team gathered strong evidence in favour of Albert Einstein's now accepted Theory of General Relativity.
