Adelaide View
[General description] View of south eastern Adelaide from the Town Hall Tower. Flinders Street cuts across the lower portion of the view. There is a mix of residential and light industrial buildings intersperced with paddocks, with rural land and hills in the background. Scaffolding in the foreground is attached to the Stow Church which is under construction. The English architect of Stow Church was fond of English wildlife so had a squirrel, carved in stone, at the front of the building. The church on the right is St. Andrews Presbyterian, which opened in 1859 and closed in 1904. On the north side of Wakefield street is the Unitarian Christian Church, completed in 1854, built by the same builder who later built the Town Hall. The Unitarian Church moved to Norwood in the early 1970s and the building on Wakefield street was lost. To the South West of the Unitarian Church, on Wakefield Street, is St. Francis Xavier Cathedral, which survies today. Businesses in the foreground; from extreme right, a cooperage, T. Hills' Cabinet Maker Upholsterer and Undertaker, and G.Gooden, Basketmaker. The two storey building in the centre left is J. Dunn & Co.'s Grain and Flour stores.

Sea sections
An unusual piece, perhaps better described as a sculpture, features four panels organised into an interlocking puzzle and adhered to a black background panel. Each panel relates to the other in its decoration. Swirling colours of green and pink create a marbled effect. The artist has used fine application of colour as close inspection reveals minute details in the marbling. It is possible the four panels were part of a larger painting or experimental work that was cut down. The artist may have used a technique which incorporates blowing air through a straw to move colour across the picture plane.
