Plate 57: Part of the text accompanying the illustration reads 'The Moriatta Rivulet, during its course through the rocky ravines of Glen Stuart, presents three successive falls .. the accompanying scene represents the Middle or principal Falls ... The 'Dasyurus' or "native cat" of the Colonists is figured in this plate; it is a small marsupial animal, abundant in most districts of South Australia'

This is one of 60 coloured lithographs found in the 1847 edition of 'South Australia Illustrated' by colonial artist George French Angas, together with a descriptive passage for each. The lithograph was created by J.W. Giles from Angas' original painting. The date assigned is assumed to be approximately when the lithographs were created; the original paintings were done in earlier years
