EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable piece of Australia's historic past - the Burke and Wills Face Tree. In 1898, John Dick skillfully carved the face of Robert O'Hara Burke into a majestic tree located just 30 meters downstream from the iconic Dig Tree. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported back nearly 140 years ago to the exact spot where Burke, Wills, and their courageous companions once stood. The Face Tree stands as a powerful testament to the indomitable spirit of exploration that coursed through these brave souls. It serves as a direct link to an era when intrepid adventurers pushed beyond known boundaries in search of new frontiers. The intricate carving etched onto its bark is not merely an artistic tribute but also a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by those who paved the way for future generations. As you study this photograph closely, take note of how time has weathered both man and nature alike. The wrinkles on Burke's face mirror those etched onto the ancient tree trunk itself, symbolizing endurance and resilience against all odds. Greg Sullavan has masterfully captured this significant historical artifact with his lens, allowing us to appreciate its significance even today. This print invites us to reflect on our nation's rich exploratory heritage while reminding us that progress is built upon the foundations laid by extraordinary individuals like Burke and Wills.
