EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the train station of Coolgardie, Western Australia, in the late 19th century. The wood engraving, published in 1899, showcases a historical view of this once-thriving town that played a significant role during the gold rush era. Coolgardie, located approximately 558 kilometers east of Perth in the Goldfields-Esperance region, was once a bustling city with a population of around 15,000 residents. It stood as Western Australia's third largest city after Perth and Fremantle when gold miners flocked to its grounds seeking fortune. Today, Coolgardie is but a shadow of its former self. With only around 850 inhabitants remaining, it has transformed into both a tourist attraction and ghost town. Its rich history and remnants from the past draw visitors who are eager to explore its golden heritage. The image captured by ZU_09 transports us to an era long gone - where steam trains would arrive at this very station carrying hopeful prospectors seeking their fortunes deep within the Australian outback. The wood engraving beautifully depicts the architectural charm and significance that once characterized this small town. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history frozen in time through ZU_09's lens, we can't help but marvel at how much has changed since then. This print serves as a reminder of Coolgardie's glory days while igniting our curiosity about what lies beyond its now quiet streets and abandoned buildings
