EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the immense scale of Australia's wheat industry in the early 20th century. Taken by an Australian photographer, it captures a staggering stack of 125,000 bags of wheat at an outport in South Australia, patiently awaiting shipment. The monochromatic tones add a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing the magnitude and importance of this agricultural endeavor. The stark contrast between the white bags and dark surroundings draws attention to the sheer volume of grain being stored. This photograph was originally featured as an illustration for "Glimpses of Australia" a publication by the Department of External Affairs in Melbourne in 1908. It serves as a testament to Australia's role as a major player in global food production during that era. The image not only highlights the economic significance of wheat farming but also offers insight into botany, natural history, and scientific methods employed to cultivate such vast quantities. It reminds us of how essential agriculture is for sustaining our food supply. As we gaze upon this historic scene frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at both human ingenuity and nature's bounty. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Australia's rich agricultural heritage and its contribution to feeding nations around the world.
