Westall, William. Drawings by William Westall. - Plate 22 & 23,
Plate 22-23. '2 views at the head of the Gulf.' - Plate no .22.
While Flinders surveyed the Head of Spencer Gulf in the cutter, Robert Brown, Ferdinand Bauer and William Westall walked inland and climbed the high mountain that Flinders subsequently named Mt Brown. The walk was harder and further than they anticipated and they spent a chilly night on the mountain without water. The view from the peak was extensive, and important collections of plants were gathered.
