It has some interesting pictures, including this one of Circular Head/Stanley by an unknown artist. It has emus! Which I thought cool because I hadn't seen a painting with emus in it before. Not the Tasmanian emu (Dromaius novaehollandiae diemenensis), which was a different sub-species to the mainland bird. Being a large flightless bird, it went the way of many other large flightless birds once Europeans arrived.
