In the Blackall Ranges, 1901 - A Glimpse into Australia's Untamed Beauty
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the early 20th century in the enchanting Blackall Ranges of Australia. The image, captured by an unknown creator, showcases a breathtaking vista that encapsulates both the historic and natural aspects of this region. The Blackall Range owes its name to Samuel Wensley Blackall, who served as Queensland's second Governor. However, it was Ludwig Leichhardt, an intrepid European explorer, who first ventured into these ranges. With its rich resources attracting timber-cutters since the 1860s, this area became synonymous with deforestation during that era. In this snapshot from "Federated Australia" published by The Werner Company in London in 1901, we are transported to a time when railways were vital for transportation across vast landscapes like these hillsides. The railway tracks winding through the mountain range serve as a reminder of human ingenuity amidst nature's grandeur. The untouched beauty of this landscape is awe-inspiring; towering trees stand tall against a backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery. It offers viewers a glimpse into Australia's wild country at its finest—a testament to nature's resilience despite human intervention. As we gaze upon this historic photograph today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also reflect on our responsibility towards preserving such magnificent landscapes for future generations to cherish and protect.
