monwealth of Australia in 1901 was a cause for celebra-

Views” of triumphal arches, illuminations and buntings
on light poles and bridges are perhaps the most well
known images of an otherwise forgotten photographic
moment. Yet the new millennium was distinguished by a
national enthusiasm for Australia’s natural assets—gum
trees, sun and light which became the mainstay in picto-
rial photography, painting, printmaking and decorative
arts until the Great War.
