The catalogue of an exhibition held at the National Gallery of Victoria, 30 October 1985 to 27 January 1986.

The exhibition covered the period of Australian art from 1885 to shortly after the turn of the 20th Century. Popularly known as the Heidelberg School, their painting ranged far beyond the bush around Melbourne. They painted Sydney Harbour, the Hawkesbury River, Australia's emerging cities, beaches, and the leisure moments of Australian society. (Preface)
