EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the early 1920s in New South Wales, Australia. The scene unfolds at a rural farming station, where a team of sturdy oxen are hard at work. Their powerful muscles strain as they pull a heavy cart laden with compressed wool bales towards the railway. The oxen's determination mirrors the resilience and tenacity of the settlers who, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, played a pivotal role in Australia's agricultural growth. The vintage setting is further accentuated by the presence of a horse-drawn cart in the background, which adds to the sense of nostalgia and history. The farmers, dressed in Victorian and Edwardian attire, stand nearby, overseeing the operation with a sense of pride and satisfaction. The vast, open fields, dotted with sheep, stretch out in the distance, symbolizing the vastness and richness of the Australian landscape. The oxen train was an essential mode of transportation for farmers during this era, enabling them to transport their produce, including wool, to the railway stations for shipment to markets in the British Empire and beyond. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of early Australian settlers and their farming practices, providing a fascinating insight into the colonial past of this dynamic and diverse country.
