EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw beauty and rugged determination of Australia's early wool industry, as a team of oxen and their drivers carefully navigate their way across the Warrigo River with a wagon full of bales and sacks. Dated circa 1910, the image transports us back in time to an era when the transportation of wool was a labor-intensive and physically demanding process. The scene unfolds on the banks of the Warrigo River in rural Australia, where the team of oxen, harnessed to the wagon, plod steadily through the shallow water. The drivers, dressed in hats and long-sleeved shirts, carefully guide the animals, ensuring they do not slip on the rocky riverbed. The bales and sacks of wool, piled high on the wagon, are protected from the elements by large tarpaulins. In the background, a train can be seen crossing a bridge, a reminder of the changing transportation landscape that was beginning to emerge in Australia during this period. The train would eventually become a more efficient and cost-effective means of transporting large quantities of wool, but for now, the oxen and their teams remained a vital part of the wool industry's backbone. This photograph is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the early Australian settlers, who relied on the strength of their animals and their own ingenuity to transport their valuable wool crops to market. It is a powerful reminder of the rich history and traditions that continue to shape Australia's agricultural industry today.
