Note this lithograph is from the very rare 1838 series, "Six views" which drawn on stone by Gauci and not to be confused with the 1848 issue titled, "Sketches in Australia" which were drawn on stone by Spreat. Very rare. View of a picturesque waterfall in the Illawarra district, with two Aboriginal natives carrying spears and shield, located in the foreground. The precise locality of this view is unknown – it could possibly be the Kings Falls , west of Stanwell Park , or another west of the Illawarra Escarpment at Wollongong. Reproduced in Mitchell & Sherington (1987, p.10). Exhibited, C France, The Illawarra & Environs: A Pictorial Survey ( Wollongong , 1988). ref:http://www.uow.edu.au/~morgan/rmw4.htm
