EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Adrien Emmanuel Marie takes us back to the early days of Queensland's cattle stations in Australia. The scene is set under a moonlit sky, as the first rays of daylight begin to paint the horizon. A group of hardworking men on horseback have already started their day's work, driving a mob of horned cattle towards their destination. The atmosphere is charged with energy and anticipation, as the sound of a bugle fills the air, signaling an early start. In this remote corner of Australia, life revolves around these vast cattle stations where animals roam freely and wildlife thrives alongside farm animals. As we observe this snapshot in time, our attention is drawn to various objects scattered across the campsite - cock horns used for amusement or perhaps communication among workers during their downtime. The presence of a majestic horse suggests its importance in assisting with daily tasks on such rugged terrain. Despite its wild nature, there is also a sense of home within this bustling scene. The arrival at camp after a long day's drive brings relief and camaraderie amongst these men who rely on each other for survival in this challenging environment. Marie's engraving captures both the beauty and harshness that characterizes life on Queensland's cattle stations over a century ago. It serves as a reminder of our connection to nature and how humans have shaped landscapes throughout history.
