  • Artist (Painter)
Colonial sketcher, poet, maritime officer and farmer, whose appreciation of horseflesh and hunting produced some lively works in landscape, animal and genre scenes including watercolour portraits of horses. Writer of the words to the song 'Indemnity Gipps', Templer died tragically returning from a picnic when his horse crushed him against a tree.
