Full Cry, 1850. Creator: Unknown

Full Cry, 1850. Kangaroo-hunting:..the favourite colonial sport of Australia...the full chase, with its adventurous character across a half-cleared country; in which the flying leaps of the kangaroo are by no means exaggerated...'. Scene...from the Sketch-book of a Settler, who was so struck with the novelty of the chase, that he has attempted to portray a few of its oddities...These timid creatures, which we disturbed while they were feeding, immediately took to the desert; and many a famous chase we had after them, over gum bushes and the rough surface of the loose limestone rocks. It is an extraordinary sight to see so large an animal clearing the bushes, and springing high into the air with such astonishing agility...Our countrymen pursued it in New Holland with greyhounds, and the leaps which it took surprised those who beheld it clear obstacles seven or eight feet high'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850
