"Government Camp, Creswick's Creek". Drawn by Samuel Thomas Gill (1818-1880), known as "The Artist of the Goldfields" for his vivid scenes of life on the diggings. The scene dates from 1855, shortly before the botanical gardens was proposed. The "Triangle" area of the current reserve is probably in the middle distance on the right, while the building on the hill, right, has been replaced by the present house. The picture originally appeared in Victoria Illustrated, published in Melbourne by Sands & Kenny in 1857 from a steel engraving by J. Tingle.
