Summary

[General description] Head and shoulders portrait of Thomas R. Bowman in three quarter view. He was one of four brothers who came to South Australia in 1838 after a few years in Tasmania. With his brothers he was a pioneering pastoralist aquiring properties in the Dry Creek area, later in the mid north at Werocata, Crystal Brook and Martindale. They were reputedly very hard workers, doing much of the station work themselves. Thomas was at the Crystal Brook run for twenty years. He was a generous philanthropist giving large donations to charities in the year before his death.
