Charles Joseph La Trobe b. 30 March 1801

  • Artist (Draughtsman)
A gifted sketcher, colonial administrator and travel writer, he always recorded his travels, and the illustrations in at least two of his four published travel books were based on his sketchbooks. La Trobe was responsible for the development of the Port Phillip area, from a ragged unofficial settlement of 6,000 Europeans to a self-governing colony with a white population of over 80,000.
