This is the spot where the Australian impressionists walked from their base house in Eaglemont towards Heidelberg to paint.
Above a painting by Arthur Streeton. Note the similarities in the light, the dirt road and the vegetation.
A part of a fence boundary that looks like an old kitchen and the other side of the fence. Could this be the remnants of the cottage in the painting? This building structure is 50 metres from where the Impressionist's camp house stood. It, in theory, could be an out building.
There is nothing left of the original farmhouse they painted in. However this section of this house was quite likely was standing and it’s the only structure from that time in the area. Interesting that Griffin kept this area open only 30 years later. Maybe he knew?
