Courtesy Dixson Library, State Library of New South Wales, from Album of sketches in Sydney, New England and Queensland, ca. 1852-1878 / drawn by Conrad Martens.
Conrad Martens (1801-1878) was an English watercolour artist who arrived in Australia in 1835. This collection of sketches and watercolours documents his travels from Brisbane to Sydney from around 1851 onwards. This sketch shows the rock formations in modern day Girraween National Park, now known as The Pyramids. “Terrawambella” is likely the original Aboriginal name for The Pyramids. The album also includes sketches of Ballandean and Tenterfield.
