Mount Johnstone
Mount Johnstone dominates the landscape to the west of the township of Paterson, and evidently caught the eye of Robert Russell in about 1837. Mount Johnstone also features in Dangar's 1828 map, and can be seen in the background of Lycett's 1824 painting of Lake Paterson.
The farm in the foreground of Russell's painting below is probably Brisbane Grove that Caleb and Felix Wilson purchased in 1834.
