professional photographer, was working in Market Square, Castlemaine, Victoria, between 1860 and 1867, sending three photographic views of Castlemaine to the 1867 Paris Universal Exhibition. Cited as an 'artist’ of Castlemaine in 1861, McCulloch has attributed a large oil painting of the Bendigo goldfields (Pioneers and Old Residents Association, Castlemaine) to 'Wheeler’, but the painting, Castlemaine from Ten Foot Hill , is now given to E.R.L. Stocqueler . Wheeler seems to have been exclusively a photographer.
