Australian Capital Cattle Cedar Corner Loaded North Eastern Pulled Richmond Slides Sydney Wagon
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lantern slide, part of the Boswell Collection and labeled as slide number 44, presents a glimpse into the past of Sydney, Australia, during the late 1890s. The photograph shows a wagon being pulled by a large number of cattle, all loaded with precious cedar wood, as they make their way along the banks of the Richmond River in the north-eastern corner of New South Wales. Sydney, the most populous city in Australia and the state capital of New South Wales, is situated on the south-east coast of the Tasman Sea. In the late 19th century, the city was undergoing rapid growth, driven in part by the thriving timber industry. Cedar wood, prized for its durability and fine grain, was a valuable commodity during this period. The image of the wagon being pulled by the cattle laden with cedar wood is a poignant reminder of the labor-intensive process involved in transporting this valuable resource from the forests to the markets. The Richmond River, which flows through the region, provided an essential transportation route for the timber industry, making it a bustling hub of economic activity. This intriguing slide offers a unique perspective on the history of Sydney and the important role that the timber industry played in its development during the late 1800s. It is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the hard work and determination of those who contributed to the growth and prosperity of this vibrant city.
