During the summer of 1885/1886, Roberts camped with Frederick McCubbin and Louis Abrahams in the bush along Gardiner's Creek in Box Hill. Here he produced 'The Artists' Camp', 1886, and 'A Summer Morning Tiff', 1886, which he discussed and illustrated in a letter to his then girlfriend, Lillie Williamson.
