Streeton painted this work from the hillside, close to where he then resided at No.7 Summit Drive, Eaglemont. To the far left of the landscape Streeton has depicted the valley of the Yarra River, and it is to this area that the well-dressed men and women slowly make their way. To the left in the middle distance is the mansion Clarendon Eyre and the dark foliage to its right is the Bolin Bolin billabong.
