Image 28: Eugène von Guérard, Panoramic view of Mr Angus McMillan's station, Bushy Park, Gippsland, Victoria

The search teams looking for the captive white woman passed several times through the country depicted in this Eugène von Guérard painting. The land was part of Angus McMillan's station, Bushy Park, and was used by him to graze sheep. In 1840 it was McMillan who recorded the first alleged sighting of a white woman held captive by Aboriginal people in Gippsland.
