  "The first tree in the background (probably a pear tree) was from the original orchard. Other trees, pears, apples, quinces and orange trees from the old orchard were in existence in 1900, none remains in 1946. Very near the right hand lower corner was the 'black man's grave', a slightly raised mound covered with old bricks made in Squire's time, in which were the bodies of White, Bennelong and his wife" -- in pencil on reverse
