EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1901, capturing a moment in time at Back Beach, Sorrento, Victoria. The creator of this remarkable image remains unknown, but their lens skillfully transports us to an era long gone. Back Beach holds historical significance as it was once the site of Victoria's first mainland European settlement in 1803. However, due to limited access to fresh water resources, the settlement eventually relocated to Hobart in Tasmania. This photograph serves as a reminder of the region's rich history and its role in shaping Australia's early days. The scene depicted showcases a picturesque coastline with sandy dunes stretching towards the ocean. In the background, we see people enjoying a day out by the beach - families spending quality time together and children playing freely on this scenic stretch of land. The image evokes a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when outings like these were cherished moments filled with joy and wonder. It offers us a glimpse into Australian life during Federation – an important milestone that brought together different states under one Commonwealth. As we gaze upon this historic landscape frozen in time, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed over the past century while appreciating our connection to those who walked these shores before us.
