Summary

Plate 28: Angaston. Evening. Part of the text accompanying the illustration reads 'The township of Angaston, at German Pass, is picturesquely situated at the head of a rocky glen, looking towards Greenock Hills, over which the setting sun throws a purple radiance, as it sinks behind their wooded summits. The few houses which at present form the nucleus of a future town occupy a grassy flat between steep rounded hills, which are scattered here and there with park-like trees of the 'eucalyptus' family ... the lowing cattle are returning homewards: there is an air of peace and independence about the scene, with the little chapel on the hill, and the wreaths of smoke gently curling up from the cottages beneath the gum trees ...'
