EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Streeters Jetty View, Broome" takes us on a journey back in time to the late 19th century. The wooden jetty, built by E. W. Streeter & Co of London, stands as a testament to the pearl dealers and merchants who once thrived in this remote Australian town. Its existence since 1897 is a reminder of the rich history that lies within its weathered planks. The image exudes tranquility and loneliness, with no people in sight. The symmetry of the composition draws our attention towards the distant horizon, inviting us to contemplate the way forward. Surrounded by lush green mangroves and bushland, this local landmark blends harmoniously with its natural surroundings. Underneath the warm sunlight, we are transported into a world where decisions were made and journeys began from this very spot. The footbridge leading to Streeters Jetty symbolizes both connection and departure; it serves as a gateway for luggers and small vessels navigating through Dampier Creek. As we gaze upon this horizontal photograph, we can't help but feel captivated by its diminishing perspective - an invitation to explore beyond what meets the eye. With its vibrant colors capturing every detail of this tranquil scene, it becomes clear why Broome is considered one of Australia's most sought-after travel destinations. AFA's exceptional photography skills have beautifully captured not only a physical structure but also an intangible sense of nostalgia that resonates with anyone who appreciates
