"Painted on the banks of the Wollondilly River, where we are seen boiling the billy, on one of nature's perfect days, the air still, the mists rising in the valley, yet gradually giving way, to the warming rays of the sun, in this wonderland, one tries to capture in paint.
This is my interpretation of a mood of nature, so dear to my heart" (Rubery Bennett), on this painting.
