Robert Outhwaite was a passenger on the Stag, the same ship which in 1847 brought to Melbourne its first bishop, Charles Perry, and his wife, Frances.  Frances Perry wrote about the voyage in her journals, in his diary Outhwaite gives another view.  

In 2017 a painting of the Stag was donated to Bishopscourt as the home of the Perrys and still the home of the Anglican Archbishop. The artist was Mr Wainton, Third Officer who painted it for Outhwaite.  The painting had remained in the Outhwaite family until recently. 

This book brings the diary and the painting together.
