Description

Departure of Troopships, Iberia and Australasian for the Soudan. This image from a glass plate negative depicts the New South Wales contingent of soldiers marching to the troopships ‘Australasian’ (near) and ‘Iberia’ moored in Sydney Cove prior to their departure for the Sudan on 3 March 1885. All the ships in the Cove are flag dressed for the ceremonial occasion although not all Sydneysiders agreed with the venture. About 700 volunteers joined the two troopships, keen to support the Empire. A collection of historical pictures in the Public Domain from the Powerhouse Museum.
