EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a squatter's hut in New South Wales, Australia during the 19th century. The image showcases a humble dwelling made from recycled materials such as corrugated iron, logs, and potato sacks. The chimney stands tall, emitting smoke that tells tales of warmth and comfort within. The photographer beautifully portrays the historical significance of squatting in this remote region of Australia. Squatting refers to the act of occupying land without legal ownership or permission, often seen as a means for survival by early settlers. This particular squatter's hut seems to have been built with resourcefulness and resilience. Intriguingly, there is mention of a "Chinaman" in the additional information provided. This suggests that Chinese immigrants may have played a role in constructing or inhabiting these huts during this period. The presence of an oil can near the entrance hints at self-sufficiency and adaptability - traits necessary for survival on isolated lands like these. Firwood stacked nearby indicates preparation for cold nights while timber scattered around implies ongoing construction or repairs. Overall, this photograph offers us a glimpse into Australian history - one where families lived off the land amidst challenging conditions but found solace within their simple yet sturdy homes.
