Plate 19: Part of the text accompanying the illustration reads 'The subject of the accompanying sketch is a kangaroo hunt in the Scrub in which I took part, near the marble range, about thirty miles westward of Port Lincoln; the hills beyond are called Albert's Range, and the conical summit is known as Albert's Peak'.

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.
