EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Australian history - the birth of the first Westralian Goldmine near Southern Cross. Taken by an anonymous Australian photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The scene depicts a rugged landscape with miners toiling away amidst rocky terrain, their determination etched on their faces. The harshness of the environment is evident as they dig deep into the earth, searching for precious gold that would change their lives forever. This photograph was originally used as an illustration for "Australia Unlimited" by Edwin J Brady, published by George Robertson around 1916. It serves as a visual testament to Australia's rich mining heritage and its contribution to shaping Western Australia. As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are transported back to a time when pioneers risked everything in pursuit of fortune and opportunity. It reminds us of the resilience and tenacity that defined early Australians who ventured into uncharted territories. Today, this image stands as a reminder of our nation's past achievements and serves as inspiration for future generations. It symbolizes not only the significance of gold mining but also represents the spirit of exploration that continues to define Australia's identity.
