  • The Gilbert Family, 1864In nineteenth-century Australian art, gigantic eucalypts with hollow bases were presented both as objects of awe and as backdrops for settler–colonist self-imaging. Pastoralist and founding Barossa vine grower Joseph Gilbert commissioned Alexander Schramm to depict his family posed around, and within, this giant tree, rather than in his formal gardens or orchards. The Aboriginal man, possibly Peramangk or Ngadjuri, shown tending the pony, and the dead possum carried triumphantly in the setter’s mouth, further the depiction of colonial dominance. Gilbert’s estate Pewsey Vale continues as a winery today; the ancient tree, hollowed by fires, was subsequently lost to fire.
