Description:
The Apsley River was named by John Oxley who wrote wrote in his journal that he was ‘lost in astonishment at the sight of this wonderful natural sublimity’, when he sighted the falls on 13 September 1818. ‘Bathurst Cataract’ is the second of two drops of the falls on the river that are situated about 20 kms east of Walcha in Oxley Wild Rivers National Park.
Artist:
Joseph Lycett (1777-1828)
Painter & forger convicted in 1811 & transported to Botany Bay. On arrival he was given his ticket of leave but soon was re-convicted for forgery and sent to the penal settlement of Newcastle. Again in 1821 he received a pardon and returned to England armed with a portfolio of colonial views. In 1824 John published “Views in Australia” dedicated to the Earl of Bathurst. Lycett is acknowledged as being one the most important colonial artists to record the progress of the colony.
