EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1910, showcases the raw strength and determination of the Australian workforce as they transport massive Karri logs (Eucalyptus diversicolor) using a team of bullocks. native to the wetter regions of Southwestern Western Australia. The image beautifully encapsulates the early logging industry in Australia, where the power of nature and the resilience of man came together to extract the valuable timber resources from the rugged terrain. The bullock teams, each led by a skilled handler, make their way along a narrow, rutted path, pulling the massive logs with unwavering determination. The logs, some measuring over 10 meters in length and weighing several tonnes, are secured to the spoked wheels of the wooden carts, their wide trunks jutting out at odd angles. The bullocks, with their powerful muscles and unyielding spirit, strain against the ropes, their hooves digging into the ground as they move forward. The Karri tree, a native species to the southwestern region of Western Australia, is renowned for its size and strength. These trees can grow up to 90 meters tall and have a diameter of over 3 meters. The logs, once extracted from the forest, were used extensively in the construction industry due to their durability and strength. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and perseverance of the early Australian settlers, who harnessed the power of nature to build a new nation. The scene is a snapshot of a bygone era, a time when the world was still discovering the vast potential of the Australian land and its natural resources.
