'I guess the British thought strangely that this was some sort of divine moment, they were taken to the promised land.'

A painting of a landscape with early colonial structures on top of a grassy hill surrounded by pastural land. Soldiers and workers can be seen moving amongst the building and parked buggies while two men tend a fire in the foreground pasture.
