Artwork Details
printed in ink on support reverse c.: VIEWS OF VICTORIA. / (GENERAL SERIES.) / No. 23. / WATERFALL SCENE ON THE COLIBAN RIVER, NEAR ELPHINSTONE. / The scene this illustration presents is but one of the many that exist along the course of this shallow River, which, / like its parent the Campaspie, abounds with rocky and romantic scenery. The fall of the River at this place is over / one hundred feet, but is broken by a long course of rocks to the lower bed; the actual fall as seen is about forty feet. / The Coliban, though only a branch of the Campaspie, derives its name from the fact that its course runs through the / Coliban Park. Gold is found in considerable quantities along the banks and in the stream, but at the present time / these diggings are worked only by Chinamen.
