CAPTION PRINTED BELOW PICTURE: 'Western Australia. The Wiluna-Kimberley Stock Route by A. W. Canning, 1906-07'

Alfred Wernam Canning was an Australian surveyor, best known as the originator of the Canning Stock Route in Western Australia, a cattle track running 1,850 kilometres (1,150 mi) through remote desert country between Halls Creek and Wiluna. He surveyed the route for bringing cattle overland from the Kimberley district to the goldfields in 1906 and 1907. He returned the following year to commence construction of 51 wells which were set one days march (20 kilometres or 12 miles) apart to feed travelling livestock. The route was completed in 1910. He also surveyed the route for the inaugural rabbit-proof fence.
