EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the sheer power and beauty of a big wave crashing in the Cataract Gorge, near Launceston, Tasmania in 1901. The photographer remains unknown, but their skill in capturing this dramatic moment is undeniable. The Cataract Gorge holds great historical significance as it was discovered by William Collins, the earliest known European to explore this stunning geographical feature in 1804. This image transports us back to a time when Australia was still federating into one nation - an era of change and progress. The rugged rocks and turbulent waters create a breathtaking landscape that showcases the raw natural beauty of Australia's Oceania region. The spray from the wave adds an element of dynamism to the scene, emphasizing its power and intensity. As we gaze upon this historic photograph, we are reminded of Tasmania's rich history and its status as a popular tourist attraction. The Cataract Gorge continues to draw visitors with its scenic vistas and awe-inspiring views. Though taken over a century ago, this image transcends time, allowing us to appreciate both the timeless allure of nature's forces and our human fascination with capturing them on film.
