printed in ink on support reverse c.: VIEWS OF VICTORIA. / (GENERAL SERIES.) / No. 51. / JEBB'S POOL, ON THE ERSKINE RIVER, NEAR LORNE. / Jebb's Pool is situated about four miles from the township of Lorne, and is so called in consequence of a / gentleman named Jebb, whilst crossing the cataract, having fallen and was swept down by the current into a / whirlpool which is continually in motion, owing to the peculiar formation of the river and the powerful current / of water. The depth of water in the pool must be considerable, as but for the timely assistance rendered his / life would have been sacrificed.
