Life in the Backwoods of Queensland - A Glimpse into Untamed Australia
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This engraving, titled "Life in the Backwoods of Queensland" offers a vivid snapshot of the untamed wilderness and rugged existence that characterized early Australian settlement. Created by Alfred Chantrey Corbould in 1878 for The Graphic, this print provides a fascinating window into a bygone era. In this scene, we find ourselves amidst the dense woodlands of Queensland. Breakfast time has arrived at a native encampment, where inhabitants are seen going about their daily activities. Mud surrounds them as they engage in various tasks such as cutting wood and tending to farm animals. The harsh realities of life are evident as floodwaters have halted travel for a coach drawn by wild horses. A native postman on horseback has been forced to stop his journey due to being stuck in muddy terrain. Meanwhile, an array of wildlife animals roam freely through this picturesque landscape. Amidst all this chaos, one cannot help but marvel at the resilience and resourcefulness displayed by these early settlers. From transporting goods using horses and carts to harvesting wool from shire horses, every aspect reflects their determination to survive and thrive against nature's challenges. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it serves as a poignant reminder of our ancestors' struggles and triumphs while navigating the vastness of Australia's backwoods.
