Sir Sidney Nolan
By inheritance to his widow, Lady Nolan
The Estate of Lady Nolan, UK
In 1947, Nolan spent several weeks on Fraser Island whilst visiting Queensland. He learnt of the story of Mrs. Eliza Fraser - including her survival after the shipwreck amongst the local Indigenous Australians, her eventual return to England, and the impact of her claims about her experience.
It inspired the series by Sidney Nolan featuring Mrs. Fraser.
