Yes Oliver, they are really old photos of the first landing @1770, somewhere around Botany Bay I think...

Looks like pictures from some armchair historian's viewpoint

Clearly a picture story of the first landing and how happy the Aboriginals are that we showed them the invention of the wheel
to carry possessions around.

My wife found some pics on my pc once. It wasn't those pics, and although I liked 'em - they had to go.

Apparently the Internet is a good source for such pics...or so I'm told.

It's clearly boat people arriving. Come to steal our jobs and our way of life.

Turn them back! Turn them back!

Even that spiky thing in the wheelbarrow. It has no business here!

C'mon... responses are really entertaining.

I need the "brains trust" to kick in on this one.

Even a suggestion of another forum, to escalate this issue would be good.

If its a serious question, asking for info on the pics; http://www.artgallery.wa.gov.au/Peoples_Choice_WAIAA11.asp

And if you didnt know, you can do image searches using that google machine, was pretty quick and simple to find that they are by Michael Cook. Actually, I quite like the pictures so good one!

^^ Please don't yell. Any way that was a bleak day for Australia back in 1770. A day when there wasn't enough wind to rig up so the local crew took some photos instead.

Good work Cal. And thanks for the kind words jn1

I knew the "brains trust" would kick in on this mystery.

On a side note, I'd highly recommend everyone go over their jpg files in their computer. I've found the most banal and interesting things in 3 years of stupid collected data.

your wife should thank you for downloading those pics and thus ridding the internet of them. You are a hero.

Are they from a series of paintings titled '101 things to do at the beach more exciting than Stand Up Paddling' ?
