| Description : |
'Surveyors' Encampment Yorkes (sic) Peninsula', July 12 1850: a watercolour by artist Edward J Snell. Edward John Snell was an engineer, artist and adventurer. Snell recorded his travels in South Australia and Victoria in his diary, with candid and humorous descriptions and sketches. In his diary, the 1850 private survey expedition at 'Yorkes Peninsula' is described in detail, with a vocabulary of 'The Natives of Yorke's Peninsula' and a sketch map of the country traversed. Later in 1852 Snell travelled to the Victorian goldfields to try his luck, and recorded daily life at the diggings. |
