Australia in 1872
Bernhardt Otto Holtermann hired photographers to document Australia during its gold rush days. That photographic collection has been digitized by the New South Wales State Library, where you can browse them. A selection of these photographs have been paired with the same places as they appear now, which you can see and compare at the Herald Sun. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/nation … 6583645452 Feb 24 13 11:03 pm Link Thanks for that  Feb 25 13 12:17 am Link And no one's texting on their iPhone in any of those shots.

Feb 25 13 03:24 am Link Way cool! I wish that slider feature were a common feature for GIF... . Feb 25 13 04:21 am Link That was good. The sliders work well. Mar 01 13 01:03 am Link I was surprised that some of the buildings haven't changed much over that many years. Or, maybe they are reconstructed/recreations.

Holterman and "his" nugget  the mine that he owned found this specimen, history remembers the find as being his due to the photograph. The actual miners who uncovered it are forgotten forever. This is the power of photography Mar 01 13 01:51 pm Link Great link, thanks. Makes I wonder what other heritage is in someone's outhouse? Mar 01 13 05:45 pm Link |
