The full title of this 1836 painting by John Glover is "Mills' Plains, Ben Lomond, Ben Loder and Ben Nevis in the distance". And in fact you can make out the distinctive features on the section of the mountain now known as "Carr Villa" with Old Bill's Monument and Misery Bluff. But again it's the foreground that makes this painting unique. Here, a number of years after they were forcibly removed from the land in the "Black War" (1820-1830), Glover paints in an aboriginal camp.

Tongerlongeter is an epic story of resistance, sorrow and survival. Leader of the Oyster Bay nation of south-east Tasmania in the 1820s and ’30s, Tongerlongeter and his allies prosecuted the most effective frontier resistance ever mounted on Australian soil, inflicting some 354 casualties. His brilliant campaign inspired terror throughout the colony, forcing Governor George Arthur to counter with a massive military operation in 1830. Tongerlongeter escaped but the cumulative losses had taken their toll. On New Year’s Eve 1831, having lost his arm, his country, and all but 25 of his people, the chief agreed to an armistice. In exile on Flinders Island, Tongerlongeter united remnant tribes and became the settlement’s ‘King’ — a beacon of hope in a hopeless situation.
