EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable sight - 125,000 bags of wheat patiently waiting for shipment in South Australia around the year 1900. The image, taken by an anonymous Australian photographer from the 20th century, showcases the sheer magnitude of this stockpile as it stretches across the dock. The scene is filled with a sense of anticipation and industry as these bags represent not only a vital export but also sustenance for countless individuals. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the thriving farming and grain industry that played a significant role in shaping Australia's economy during this era. The photo print, now part of a private collection preserved by Ken Welsh, evokes admiration for those involved in this labor-intensive process. It serves as a testament to their hard work and dedication to ensuring food security both within Australia and beyond its shores. As we delve into history through images like these, we are reminded of the crucial role that shipping played in connecting nations and facilitating global trade. This particular photograph stands as an enduring tribute to an essential chapter in South Australia's agricultural heritage.
