Going fishing ...
Five delightful palm-sized pictures showing activities of Aboriginal people, c. 1846/1847 - three on fishing - by S.T. Gill.

The Art Gallery of South Australia has lately put online a few more artworks by colonial artist George French Angas.
"Extinct Crater, Mount Gambier, 6th May 1844" is one I'd written about (from a book image in B&W). Seeing it in colour supports my contention that "Blue Lake" is by Gill not Angas (and it is not Blue Lake).
