He drew Affairs at Broken Hill , published in the Illustrated Australian News in 1890 (Dunstan, plate 1). His drawings in the Queensland Leader of 1892 – not really cartoons – include scenes at the Broken Hill miners’ strike after BHP reopened the mines with scab labour. A scene published 3 September 1892, attributed to Macfarlane, is Women Assaulting [a non-unionist] (ill. Harris, 94).

Dwithdale, The Book of the Bush (London: Ward, 1898) and made dramatic historical drawings of Australian exploration subjects, including the expeditions of Sturt, Mitchell, Henty, Leichhardt, McDouall Stuart, Forrest, Eyre etc.
