Hi Amber, there's not that much on the Wikipedia on this topic, but you could try the History of Australia, History of Victoria, and History of Melbourne for more details on the political and economic climate at the time - you'll note that Australia was quite severely impacted by an economic depression that lasted through the 1890's. As far as McCubbin himself, did you read the Wikipedia article on him?

Depending on the level of your project, however, you might be well advised to go to an actual library and get some books on the topic. I know that's a pain in the neck, but it's how a lot of us get the material to write the Wikipedia articles in the first place.--Robert Merkel 05:05, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
