From Back of Rectory Willunga (Watercolour)
This work depicts a rural scene at Willunga looking 'From Back of Rectory'. It was painted 30 November, 1904 and is part of a selection of watercolour paintings by amateur artist, Thomas Wood, featuring scenes of Hahndorf, Port Augusta, Salt Creek near Port Lincoln, Port Lincoln, Calicalinga (Carrickalinga), Mount Barker, Wallaroo, Willunga and Noarlunga. Wood chose to uniquely sign his work with a symbol consisting of a design based on his initials, rather than a signature as such. This work depicts specific details of the scene including three visible "fallow" labelled in pencil, indicating fertilised areas of ground. The work also features the homestead, nestled into the side of a hill slope. The artist has included a tiny pencil drawing of another structure in the distance, in the centre of the work. Wood has also included three head of cattle in the foreground to indicate scale and to represent the rural nature of the setting. The skyline is met by a bright blue coastline which is in contrast to the dryness of the landscape. Although an amateur, Wood has provided an acurate example of the geography of the Willunga area in the early 1900's.
Hahndorf (Watercolour)
This work depicts a scene at Hahndorf. It was painted 16 April, 1910 and is part of a selection of watercolour paintings by amateur artist, Thomas Wood, featuring scenes of Hahndorf, Port Augusta, Salt Creek near Port Lincoln, Port Lincoln, Calicalinga (Carrickalinga), Mount Barker, Wallaroo, Willunga and Noarlunga. Instead of the unique signature symbol used in the work entitled 'From back of refectory' 1904, Wood has simply titled and dated this work. Wood attempts to create an ideal setting by limiting details to the bottom third section of the composition. A pencil line, where he has gauged the horizon, is still visible. This technique is used to intensify the scene. The eye is lead from the bottom left, where the fence begins to the centre of the path where two tiny figures stand. From there the path is followed to a low horizon line where eucalypts create a blue haze. In comparison to the two girls, the trees on either side of the path appear gigantic, which is indicative of the deeply wooded area around Hahndorf. The artist has consciously used techniques for creating distance and scale in this work and may be considered illustrative or contrived. However, the work is also a good example of what Hahndorf might have looked like in 1910, which is perhaps similar to how it appears now in some areas. The low horizon line extends to an atmosphere which further intensifies the tree canopy and the tiny figures below. Despite his amateur status as an artist, Wood has been able to illustrate a scene with conviction. Although an amateur, Wood has provided an acurate example of the geography of the Hahndorf area in the early 1900's.

General store at Echunga
View of a Shell Company petrol tanker parked in front of Colebatch's general store at Echunga. On the back is ' "on view" Dad, Mum, Edith, "Shell driver" '. It is believed that 'Dad' is A.N. Colebatch since his second daughter was Edith (and both Edith and her sister Violet were married in Echunga in 1831 and 1935 respectively). 'Mum' was obviously his wife. According to a newspaper article in 'The Mount Barker Courier and Onkaparinga and Gumeracha Advertiser, Thursday 8 July 1937, page 4, A.N. Colebatch owned the store for 11 years (from approximately 1923 to 1934).
