I think you will be surprised at the view from our drawing room windows. We are on the highest point of the torwn and there are no houses before us ... The ground around us is the Domain public ground through which there are very beautiful drives ... Robert walks through these pretty grounds every morning to bathe and the baths you will see in a sketch taken from the oppositie shore -- Georgiana Lowe, 24 December 1843. MSS 5625

"Just now during John's absence I find amusement and employment in drasing some of the plants of the Colony, which will help to render the work on Birds of Austraia more interesting. All our sketches are much approved and of and highly compmented by our friends. I wish you could hear some of the speeches that are frequently made us, because I know you like dearly to hear your daghter praised. But at the end of all I sigh and think f I could but see old England again and the clear dear treasures it contains. I would contentedly sit down at my working table and stroke, stroke away to the end of the chapter, that is, health permitting.

The Gum Tree Pattern Plate by Olive

1-Mar-21

SLIDES 75/Item 79

Reproduction from The Home
Sydney, Art in Australia, 1921
ML Q059/H
A simple yet beautiful gem of the Austral is enshrined in this interesting plate. The Ancestral Pile on the right of the picture was the Seaside Residence of Doo-Ti. a thin-lipped Officer of State, whose Wordly Prosperity is evidenced by the Barobial Boat-house, which nestles behind a Wattle Tree in bloom. From the green pleasurance of his Front Lawn stretched [] Rustic Bridge, spanning the silver belt of Water from the Stately Gum Tree to the Gardeners' Lodge beyond.
And this is the story which will live on forever in the Gum Tree Pattern Plate.
The stern Doo-Ti had a daughter, Loo See, whose Mental Graces were surpassed only by her Physical Perfections. He also had as Private Secretary a Youth of Great Promise, named Jon Sun, who seeing the Beauty of Loo See daily before him, conceived for a Passion which was By No Means Unreciprocated.
Now Doo-Ti had in mind, as Suitor for his daughter's hand, a certain Wealthy Miner, and frowned upon the Pretensions of Jon Sun. But since Youth will not be Denied, the lovers (fortified by the Acquisition of Doo-Ti's Wallet) eloped, and took Refuge in the Gardener's Lodge, whence they escaped by Boat to Jon Sun's island home, and from there were Borne to Safety by a Kindly Airman.
It is Confidently Asserted that they lived happily Ever after.
