EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Nicky Dowling transports us back in time to the era of Queensland's rich pastoral history. The image showcases an old steam engine, a relic from the 1860s, nestled within Currawinya National Park. As one of Queensland's largest national parks, Currawinya holds a treasure trove of remnants from past pastoral activities. Scattered across the park are reminders of a bygone era - weathered shearing sheds, humble living quarters and huts that once housed hardworking pioneers. The landscape also reveals early cropping and shearing equipment, stock yards and fences that served as vital infrastructure for farming endeavors. Wells and windmills stand as silent witnesses to the perseverance required to sustain life in this rugged terrain. Currawinya even boasts an old gold mine, whispering tales of fortune seekers who ventured into these untamed lands in search of riches. This photograph captures not just a steam engine but also encapsulates the essence of human resilience and determination against nature's challenges. Nicky Dowling's lens has skillfully preserved this snapshot from history, allowing us to appreciate the legacy left behind by those who shaped Queensland's agricultural heritage. It serves as a reminder that progress is built upon foundations laid long ago; it encourages us to reflect on our connection with both land and history
