EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a wool carrying team in Western Australia around the year 1900. The image, taken by an Australian photographer whose identity remains unknown, showcases the integral role of sheep farming and agriculture in this region's history. In the picture, a group of hardworking individuals can be seen standing proudly beside their trusty horses and cart. Laden with bags filled to the brim with wool, they epitomize the resilience and determination required to thrive in such remote outback conditions. Their weathered faces tell stories of long days spent tending to flocks and transporting precious cargo across vast distances. The significance of this industry is further emphasized by its inclusion in "Under the Southern Cross - Glimpses of Australia" a publication released by the Department of External Affairs in Melbourne back in 1908. This print from that collection now resides within a private collection belonging to Ken Welsh. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we are transported back to an era when transportation relied heavily on horsepower rather than modern machinery. It serves as a poignant reminder of how far our society has come while paying homage to those who paved the way for progress through their tireless efforts within Australia's agricultural sector.
