EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the historic Murray Bridge in Corowa, New South Wales, Australia, during the early 1900s. The bridge, an engineering marvel of its time, spans the mighty Murray River, connecting the towns of Corowa in New South Wales and Wahgunyah in Victoria. Built between 1899 and 1901, the bridge was a vital link in the development of the region, facilitating the movement of people, goods, and livestock between the two states. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, with the bridge's elegant truss design standing proud against the backdrop of the rolling hills and lush greenery. The river, a major source of life and sustenance for the local community, is calm and serene, reflecting the tranquility of the scene. The photograph also reveals the bustling activity on the bridge, with horse-drawn carts and wagons making their way across, adding to the sense of history and tradition. Corowa, located in the picturesque Murray Valley region, has a rich history dating back to the early 1800s. The town was established in 1836 and grew rapidly due to its strategic location on the Murray River. The region was known for its fertile lands, and agriculture became the backbone of the local economy. The town's historical significance is further underscored by its role in the signing of the Corowa Peace Monument in 1903, which marked the end of the long-standing border dispute between New South Wales and Victoria. This photograph is an invaluable record of a bygone era, offering a fascinating insight into the history and heritage of Corowa and the Murray River region. The bridge, a symbol of connectivity and progress, stands as a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people who built it and the community it served.
