EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating scene from Central Australia in the 1940s. In the image, a team of camels is seen being led by Aboriginal individuals who are in charge of supplying outlying posts in the region. The collaboration between these indigenous people and the majestic animals showcases an important aspect of Australian history. The photograph was taken by an Australian photographer whose work is now part of a private collection. It was later used as an illustration for P J Hurley's book "In Search of Australia" published by Dymocks in 1949. The Department of Information is credited with this image. Camels played a crucial role in transporting supplies across vast distances, especially in remote areas like Central Australia. Their ability to endure long journeys through harsh terrains made them invaluable companions for those exploring and settling the continent. This snapshot offers us a glimpse into the early to mid-20th century, highlighting both wildlife and human history intertwined with each other. It serves as a reminder of how different cultures have adapted to their surroundings throughout time. Bridgeman Images holds the rights to this remarkable piece captured during one of Australia's most transformative periods – not just for its landscapes but also for its diverse communities that shaped its identity.
