Frederick Colquhoun Tindal b. 13 October 1829

  • Artist (Draughtsman)
Pastoralist who sketched various subjects including Aboriginal portraits, homesteads and Australian fauna. Tindal drowned aged 25 while attempting to cross the Clarence River in NSW. By unfortunate coincidence it was the same fate that met his younger brother two years earlier and the same fate that would meet his other brother two years later when the Dunbar was wrecked off Sydney Heads.
