However it must have been a journey from Ipswich that took considerable logistics in the 1890s (compared with 80Kms in just over an hour that it takes to travel this distance today). In the nineteenth century when this photograph was taken it would have been an expedition using horses or bullocks and would certainly also have required the planning, stocking up and carrying of provisions. Avoidance of rainy weather would have been a consideration too. There would not have been any coach service to this remote forested place.
