Biography
sketcher, farmer and orchardist, son of Thomas Plush and Frances, née Taylor, and brother of Thomas Hall Plush , was born in England. He came to South Australia in the Somersetshire in 1839 and spent much of his working life at Angaston, the home of George Fife Angas and his family. The Art Gallery of South Australia holds a watercolour by Plush titled Mount Alexander Gold Diggings from Adelaide Hill (Victoria). This is identical to an extra, seventh, lithograph by George French Angas , George French’s son, in Six Views of the Gold Fields at Ophir (New South Wales). McCulloch suggests that both could have been copied from a photograph by William Friend Bentley , who also painted a similar picture from it. Plush married Emma Radford on 7 June 1844; they had several daughters and two surviving sons. He died on 24 June 1892 at Light Pass and was buried at Angaston. This entry is a stub.
