...the Duke of Edinburgh at the Weatherboard Waterfalls,...Blue Mountains, New South Wales, 1868. Creator: Unknown.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh at the Weatherboard Waterfalls, in the Blue Mountains, New South Wales, 1868. Engraving of a sketch by Oswald Walter Brierley, '...the artist who has accompanied [Prince Alfred] all through his tour among the Southern British colonies...There is a railway from Sydney to that place, and his Royal Highness...travelled thither by a special train...Bushmen, dwelling in bark huts, and very simply clad, are the scanty population of this district. About a hundred of them, with the women, boys, and girls, were assembled at the railway station. They cheered, and waved such white handkerchiefs as they had at the ends of sticks. The Prince and his party got into six carriages, and drove to the waterfalls...The weather, unfortunately, was rainy and misty, so that the waterfalls could not be seen to great advantage. They have a depth, from ledge to ledge, of several hundred feet. The party stayed three hours, ate a substantial luncheon, and went back to Sydney in the afternoon'. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
