EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative pencil drawing, titled 'The Pug Hole,' transports us back in time to a quirky and intriguing corner of South Australia, circa 1925. The image showcases an area named 'The Pug Hole,' a moniker that beckons curiosity. At the heart of this scene lies a low, dusty pit, surrounded by the arid landscape. A pair of rickety ladders, leaning precariously against the pit's edge, lead up to an elevated ramshackle group of buildings. These structures, with their faded colors and weathered facades, appear to be the remnants of a once-thriving community. The Pug Hole was a popular destination for intrepid explorers and adventurous travelers in the early 20th century. The name 'pug' is believed to have originated from the local Aboriginal language, meaning 'place of the red earth.' The pit itself was believed to have been used for various purposes, including mining or water collection. This pencil drawing, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history and character of South Australia. It invites us to imagine the stories of the people who once called this unique place home and to appreciate the beauty and mystery of the Australian outback.
