John Glover is Australia's most distinguished early colonial artist and the only 19th Century painter to have had a successful career in Europe before emigrating. He arrived from Britiain to convict Tasmania in 1831 aged 64. Why did he, in old age, come to Australia and paint his most brilliant landscapes here?

Ron Radford addresses these questions and examines Glover's paintings and farming at his Patterdale Estate in northern Tasmania. He also records the recent saving of Glover's 200 year old Pattrerdale farmhouse and the recreation of his studio and garden.

Ron Radford is a former director of the National Gallery Of Australia and lives in Hobart, Tasmania
