This discovery removed 'the last shadow of doubt in connection with the great explorer's achievement' brought on by Stuart's mistaken belief that he was following the Adelaide River.

'Any person visiting these islands who considers the number of their inhabitants the peculiar adaptability of the people for tropical and semi-tropical lands their habits their general industry the rapid increase of population in these islands - which threatens ere long to burst through its present geographical limits . then takes up the map of Australia and especially that portion our Northern Territory - can draw no other inference but that Nature and Providence combine to show that the Northern Territory of Australia is destined to become by its striking geographical position the point where the superabundant population of those islands may find a foothold and a home where millions of acres wait for the occupancy of a race just adapted to their special wants'. <p>He spent from 17 May to 11 June in the Northern Territory and got stuck into things - and people - and recommended that the entire control of the Territory be 'under one experienced responsible head'.

101124The photograph is mounted behind an oval blood-red matt gilded on the bevelled edge visible image size 365 × 260 mm; these are surmounted by a second matt with an attractively scalloped inner edge. It is behind glass in an impressive vintage wooden frame - almost certainly of huon pine 80 mm wide - with a very ornate gilt fillet above the glass. The external dimensions are 680 × 555 mm; the visible surface of the glass is 490 × 360 mm. Opalotypes also called opaltypes and 'milk glass positives' are photographs printed on sheets of opaque translucent white glass. The process was patented in 1857 and although it survived until the 1920s this portrait from the later nineteenth century would have to be considered a very fine example of its type. It is also a credit to both the artistry of the photographer and the craftsmanship of the picture-framer neither of whom are identified. The item was purchased in Adelaide so it is highly likely the subject photographer and framer were local. unknown
