  Ferdinand Bauer was in Newcastle in 1804: “Mr. Bauer will present you with a sketch of this delightful spot, which I have taken the liberty of naming after your Excellency.” Lieutenant Menzies to Governor King 19 April 1804, Historical Records of NSW vol.5 pp.367-68.

  A ca. 1860s photograph of a very similar image - which appears to be an oil painting - is filed at PXA 561, f.1c. Underneath this photograph is inscribed, “Newcastle in N.S.Wales from a Sketch by Lewin in the early days of the Colony. / The original is in the Colonial Institute London.” While Lewin was at various times in Newcastle, it cannot be confirmed that he was in Newcastle in 1804. It has not been possible to locate the original painting of this image either.
