BUNGAREE STATION - c.1885

Photo by Samuel White Sweet, "Boy sitting on a pony, with an unknown man holding the lead. Small terrier dog sitting near the man."

Captain Samuel White Sweet (1825-1886) was sea captain, surveyor and photographer. In January 1869 Sweet took command of the two-masted schooner Gulnare, making several supply trips between Adelaide and Darwin. In September he photographed the official party at the planting of the first pole of the overland telegraph; he also took pictures of the township, the men at work and forest scenery. In November he sailed to the Roper River and took part in the survey there.
When he retired from the sea he opened a photographic studio in Adelaide and concentrated on landscapes. With his horse-drawn dark room he travelled through South Australia taking hundreds of pictures of the outback, stations and homesteads. He was the colony's foremost documentary photographer of the 1870s and early 1880s.

🐴🇮🇪 An Irish family beside a horse-drawn slide car.

For generations across rural Ireland, transport was simple, practical, and shaped by necessity. Slide cars carried people, turf, hay, supplies, and sometimes entire families along roads that were often little more than tracks.

Life moved at a different pace. The seasons, the weather, and the demands of the land set the rhythm of each day.

Photographs like this offer a glimpse into a world that has largely disappeared, but one that remained familiar across much of rural Ireland well into the twentieth century.

A sad tale of a horse being taken away by the Torrens in flood....180 years ago.

🗞"Local News.

We are sorry to record a most unfortunate accident, occasioned by a sudden flood in the Torrens on Friday last.

A person, named Humphreys, in the employment of Mr W. W. G. Nicholls, of Hindley-street, was driving a horse and cart belonging to the latter, with sand across the river, when the flood came, and carried them along with it.

The horse was drowned, and the man with difficulty saved. Parts of the cart, in a damaged state, have been recovered.

The public, on a former occasion, generously subscribed for a horse for Mr Nicholls, and we understand that many parties are equally willing to exercise towards him now the same substantial benevolence. We trust this may be so ; for having renounced his former prin-ciples, he is now more worthy of the sympathy of this community."🗞
