EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to early 20th century Australia, specifically Berembea, NSW. The image showcases the arduous task of excavating channels for irrigation, a crucial process for agricultural development in this region. The photographer, an Australian artist from the 20th century whose identity remains unknown, beautifully captures the historical significance of this moment. The private collection that houses this photograph has preserved a slice of history that tells a story of progress and determination. The scene depicts laborers working diligently under the scorching sun as they dig deep into the earth to create channels that will bring life-giving water to parched lands. Their sweat-soaked brows and determined expressions speak volumes about their commitment to transforming this landscape. This powerful illustration was originally created by Edwin J Brady for his book "Australia Unlimited" published around 1916 by George Robertson. It serves as both an educational tool and a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing nature's resources for societal advancement. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of Australia's rich heritage and its people's unwavering spirit in overcoming challenges. This photograph is not just a visual representation; it is a window into the past that allows us to appreciate how far we have come while honoring those who paved the way for progress through their hard work and dedication.
